MUTTON AND WOOL qualities both must re-
ceive attention in order to obtain the greatest
returns from farm flocks of sheep. There are a large
number of improved breeds, in each of which special
features have been developed to suit particular
agricultural conditions.
The prospective sheep raiser needs first to lay out
a plan of flock management suitable to his own farm
neighborhood and opportunities for selling. With
such a plan in mind a breed can be selected possess-
ing the features especially called for.
The raising of purebred stock to be sold for
breeding purposes can best be done by experienced
shepherds. Foundation ewes should have as much
as possible of the blood of the breed which it is
expected to use, and none but' purebred rams of
good individuality should ever be used.
