1 Living in our List article cou iselled
the farmers of this section to raise all
Hie stock their farms will feed, and be
lieving, as we do, that sheep husbandry
is an inviting field for the enterprising
people or tbe S iuthiHc, we would here
present giime iews and n flections on
that topic Wo are aware io the outset
loot we shall encounter a prevailing
prejudice against this branch of labor,
a well as the opinion that it cannot be
made profitable! he e ; yet, surely, at a
time like the present, when it is mani
fi.st that people are getting out of the
old ruts of antiquated customs and ruin
ous and expensive practices, words ol
Soberness and truth supported by well
established fuels will receive more atten
tion than formerly. Men must now
turn their attention to an) thing that will
pay, and that sheep husbandry can be
made to pay well in this portion of Vir
ginia have not the least doubt,
l'lease oote the following paragraph :
Henry S Randall, in his "Sheep Hus
bandry," after a survey of the physical
features and climate of the S lulheni
States, says, on page 11: "The fore
going facts show that the Southern S ates
have already all that is necessary to
feed stock and furUluo their fields. A
lirge proportion of the tidewater t rue,
now so unproductive, can be Converted
into grazing lands which will ield as
good a per cent, ou present capital and
investment as the best cotton lands, and
produce wool at a less expense per
pound thai any regi in of the United
S ates north of tbe Potomac." (Itil cs
bis)
The same is true, he asserts to a
greater degree of the Piedmont and
mountain sections. The whole lone
and tenor of Mr Ihndall's book is es
pecially fsvorable to our section as a
field for this business. 1!j it observed
that he says we have already all that is
necessary to feed stock. Io this he
alluJci to our native grasses and the
Soutbero field pen, which be rec or
agenda very highly as food for the sheep,
eteewing it ' a full equivalent for the
clover of the North." living abun
dance of suitable and cheap lanl, and
able to possess the materials to feed this
animal economically facts that we
need not here attempt to prove let us
tee if there ciu ba any uiuoey in llii.
business.
Without burdening the Column with
a long array of figures and estimates,
we will ssseit (hul we challenge anv
man to disprove) that it does nut gist as
much to raise a pound of wool as it does
to produce a pound of c itton ; yet the
wool is well knftwti to be worth from
three to five times as much in the mar
ket. 0 unit all cost and give the sherp
as much range as they ean pm-siily
bead, and see if it Is not so. o
growing, then, is at least three times as
remunerative as cotton growing ; but
wool is but the only profit to be derived
from sheep. There is the aunual yield
of lsaib, a very important item,
whether we desire them for the increase
of the fl cki or f.ir market, an I the con
tinued improvement of the laud arising
from the daily, etoanst hourly, dropping,
of the flick. We fl id, then in sheep
husbtudry three sources of profit, while
fmm eotto'i and most other crops we
seldom ..ok for more than one, To say
nothing of the rest, as an imnrover of
Und alone the sheep is well worth the
atteution and fostering hand of tbe
Southern farmer. Or. zither never so
cl tsely. liter alwavs return mora tithe
pasture than they taku from it, and
uoer aba nw; p-it.n'.'uui grasses spnn
up in the place of the eoarse material
they at first find. This is no theory, tut
the testimony of old and experienced
shepherds.
The business is a light and pleasant
occupation, it culls for little or oo hind
help except it may be at shearing time,
and the owner, if he follows this aline,
escaps the heavy and incresant toil in
cident to the life of the p'anter. l'i t
we do out advise any one to go into Ibis
as an exclusive business. We have
ample room in our S'ate to prosecute
this side by side and upon the san e
farm with planting and other branches
of husbandry. N farm should be wit'
out iu fl ck of sheep, as many at first as
the f r d will sustain conveniently, and
let the business grow and develop in a
oatural way. The world cannot yet do
without our cotton and tobacco, neither
cm it do without wool, and if we do not
get bett r paid for the former tb D b; i
Oeen thu lustons recently, we siiould
look to our interest and undertake tbe
latter to help out with Wool is just as
importaat an article lor dress as cotton,
and being more profitable to the pro
ducer we do not see the need of any
other argument to make it a popular
lahor with our people.
The often advanced objection about
the dog being destructive to this branch
of stock raising has absolutely no foun
dation in common sense. No Sock of
sheep should ever go at large range io
pastures or on the commons unattended
by a speaker or a shepherd, and it
would be a very poor keeper indeed, as
sisted by his gun and a boy as be genii
erally would be, who could not keep
two or three dogs trom harming a sin
gle sheep. I)oes seldom hunt sheep in
bauds ut more than two or three to
gether, and very rarely in day time,
and every flock should be taken at
nightfall to a safe picketted enclosure
near the d selling of the keeper, and
there made sure against harm from dogs
at night. To buy a fl ik of sheep and
turn ihcm upon the commons without
keeper or attendant, and expect that
dogs will not worry them and diminish
their numbers, is the sheerest piece of
nonsense our people were e'er guilty of.
Is there any occupation that will prof
per without some attention? Slieep
husbandry calls for as little of it as al'
most any that could be named, but even
that will not succeed without some little
of it.
Trusting that these remarks will at
least elecit some inquiry among readers,
and put them to figuring as to f xpen
ses and profits we leave fir the prese t
a sut j"Ct where the temptation is great
t ) indulge in some speculation, if not
rhetoric There is a poetical as well as
prosaic side to the theme; some of the
finest literature of the world is woven
into tliii interesting occupation ; but the
money value is the chief attraction for
the many, nnd we can safely say that
wc know of nothing that promises such
liberal returns for the amount of labor
and capital to be invested. It is des
lined to become a leading industry here.
It is eminently the stock for Ibis sec
tion. Index-Appeal.
