Sheep Farming 



By JOHN A. CRAIG and F. R. MARSHALL 



Illustrated. Cloth, izmo, $f.jo net 



This book deals with sheep husbandry as a phase of intensive farming. 

 Recognizing that it is likely to be used by persons unfamiliar with sheep, 

 the authors have worked from the standpoint of the producer of the market 

 stock rather than from the standpoint of the professional breeder. The 

 various breeds are discussed in such a way as to enable the reader to select 

 the kind that is most likely to do well under his conditions and to acquaint 

 him with the care it is accustomed to and needs. The management of the 

 flock in the fall, winter, spring, and summer seasons, the formation of the 

 flock, the selection of foundation stock, and the means of maintaining a 

 high standard of flock efficiency are all discussed in subsequent chapters.

 many editions. The progress of fruit growing in the meantime has been 

 very marked and it has been necessary to completely rewrite the work. 

 The present issue of it brings the accounts of the new practices and discov- 

 eries as they relate to fruit growing up to date. All of the text and practi- 

 cally all of the illustrations are new.
