FATTENING SHEEP IN WINTER. 221 



beans can be secured at moderate prices they can be used, 

 as they are greatly relished by sheep. 



In the actual work of feeding, quietness should be observed. 

 It is well not to feed too early in the winter time; daylight 

 is plenty soon enough. The same attendants should do all 

 the work, or at least as far as possible; and strangers or 

 dogs should not be allowed in the lot, as they are very apt 

 to frighten the sheep and cause them to lose flesh in running 

 and jamming around. 



Protection from sweeping winds, wet snow or rains, to- 

 gether with economical feeding arrangements, good judgment 

 in buying feeds, and regular, careful feeding, to the limit, 

 are the essentials which combine to make success certain.
