The Shepherd’s Manual. 
A Practical Treatise on the Sheep. 
Designed Especially for American Shepherds. 
By IIENKY STEWART. 
ILLUSTRATED. 
The first edition of this Manual has been so well received, 
and the letters acknowledging indebtedness for assistance 
derived from it have been so many and so emphatic, that 
the author has the best of reasons for presenting this new 
and enlarged edition to the public. It Is intended to he so 
plain that a farmer, or a farmer's son, who has never kept a 
sheep, may learn from its pages how to manage a flock suc¬ 
cessfully, and to be so complete that even the experienced 
shepherd may gather some suggestions from it. The author 
feels, with enlarged experience since the first publication of 
the volume, that he can stilf more confidently than befora 
encourage the young shepherd to accept this Manual as a 
guide and a counsellor.
