BIG INCREASE FROM SHEEP
Tlelda of lambs and wool de
pend largely upon the breed of
sheep selected. With ewes of any
one of the medium-sized mutton
breeds, the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture points out
that 115 per cent of lambs can
.be raised, and 150 per cent Is
not Infrequently reached. Tbn
wool clip varies from seven to
eleven pounds per ewe. The
larger mutton breeds yield more,
as do also the One wools, but the
value per pound of the latter has
In normal times been less on ac
count of the greater proportion
of grease. In comparison with
cattle and swine, sheep can be
made to yield practically the
same net returns on the value of
the land, if well cared for, and if
kept on lands reasonably well
adapted for sheep raising.
