"It is well to have some shelter in a sheep pasture into 

 which the animals can be driven at night and during wet 

 and cold weather in early spring and late fall; 



"The best results in the use of sheep are secured only when 

 the brush has been cut, but it is a help- to brushing if the 

 sheep are allowed to run over the unbrushed ground for a 

 week or ten days before brushing is begun; 



"Sheep will often kill brush in one season's pasturing, but 

 it is thought best to run them two seasons before clearing 

 the land; 



"Clover and grass seed should be scattered in the sheep 

 pasture so as to produce tame grasses, if they are not already 

 found there; 



"The sheep pasture should be visited every day to make 

 sure that none of the sheep have met with misfortune in the 

 thick brush."
