A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON 
THE SHEET. 
DESIGNED ESPECSAUUY EOR AMER¬ 
ICAN SHEPHERDS. 
By HENRY STEWART. 
In his Preface to the new edition, the author says s 
There can he no doubt tliat slieep culture, and the wool- 
producing industry, will still continue its present healthful 
growth, and before the next decade comes around, we may 
see these become adequate, not only to supply our home 
demands, but to furuisli material for profitable foreign ex¬ 
port of wool, as well as mutton. A million farms—only a 
bare fifth of tiie number in tliis country—upon which now 
the bleat of the sheep is not heard, can each support a flock 
with economy aud profit. All that is requisite, is, that 
farmers will see how little it costs to keep a flock, and how 
profitably it may he kept upon fodder wliich, at present, for 
the greater part, goes into the manure heap aud serves only 
in its least profitable purpose. The sheep’s foot is truly 
golden, because it takes such fodder and turns its most val¬ 
uable portion into mutton and wool, and still leaves the re¬ 
mainder greatly increased in effective usefulness, as a rich 
manure for the improvement of the land.
