Tliey require l)ut a small ca]iitnl to begin the business. 



They will do well on hilly and broken lands. 



Their manure is one of the richest animal manures that 

 can be obtained. 



The money comes in from them in the s]»ring and early

Thoy subsist on things that other animals will not eat. 



Tliey afford us two sources of profit — woo] and lambs. 



Yours very truly.
