PROGRESSIVE SHEEP RAISING 



Woll, in Productive Feeding of Farm 

 How to Animals (Lippincott), gives a series of 



Fatten Sheep formulas to be used in combination for 

 finishing sheep for market, and they are 

 so good and so representative that we reprint them here, 

 giving them in the order in which we find them. The 

 amounts are to be given daily to each animal weighing 

 about one hundred pounds at the beginning of the finishing 

 period : 



1. Two pounds clover hay, one pound wheat bran, 

 one and a half pounds corn. 



2. One and a half pounds of hay, one and a half pounds 

 roots, one and a half pounds of oats and wheat bran, equal 

 weights. 



3. One and a half pounds clover hay, one pound roots, 

 one pound corn, one-half pound wheat bran. 



4. Three pounds alfalfa, two-thirds pounds corn. 



5. One pound each cotton seed hulls and cotton seed 

 meal. 



6. One and a half pounds clover hay, one pound corn, 

 one-quarter pound wheat bran, one-half pound gluten 

 feed. 



Combination hay and grain 

 rack which may be entered by
