Missouri Agncultuml Report. 



sheep will have plenty of time some time during the day to eat all 

 it desires. Any feed left in the troughs, as well as any refuse hay, 

 should be carefully cleaned out each day. As sheep are the clean- 

 est of all of our live stock, they demand and must have the clean- 

 est feed. No moldy hay, grain or silage should ever be fed. Bet- 

 ter results can always be obtained when the bands are small in 

 number, one or two double decks, as more individual attention can 

 be given. That is one reason why the small farmer-feeder can get 

 better results than the larger operator. 



The whole matter of success in sheep feeding hinges upon 

 these things — an intelligent feeder, good care, good water, good 

 feed and good buying. No one can make anything if one of these 

 is absent. He can if all are present.
