VENTILATION IMPORTANT 



By J. M. Walker, Middletown, Ohio 



I have kept sheep five years and they have paid me larger 

 profit on money invested than any stock on my farm. The trouble 

 in this rich farming country is that the average farmer thinks 

 they are too small to bother with. Give them a well ventilated 

 shed for shelter. 



OPEN SHEDS AND CHANGE PASTURE 



By C. M. Elkins, Prineville, Oregon 



We have 200 sheep on 320 acres. Have open sheds and change 

 pasture frequently. Sheep like some weeds better than they 

 do grass. Sow rye in September for early spring pasture. If 

 a sheep bloats give one pint of milk fresh from cow. If milk is 

 not fresh, put in a teaspoonful of turpentine. 



ORDINARY SHEDS 



By Robert F. Miller, University of California, Berkeley, California 



Have ordinary sheds for this climate and fence the farm so as 

 to turn into any field. Start with good grade ewes. Don't buy 

 overfat ewes. They may be barren. SeU off the broken-rrouthed 

 ewes and those with spoiled udders.
