“Prosper with Sheep” begins first of all with the shepherd . . . what he should be . . . how many sheep he should keep, and the quality he should strive to produce. George Litton is the editor and presents every detail in a very attractive and convincing manner with illustrations on what he is writing about. Points covered include: replacement ernes, breeding, feeding, the lambing season, handling and shearing sheep, common parasites and diseases, and •sheep barns and equipment.
As a Culpeper lawyer commented last Monday, “Sheep are gold these days.” In fact, sheep are a sound—investment anytime—. . only more so than usual at present. Mrs. Sheepman, get a copy of this bulletin; it may help you learn how to mine that gold more effectively and advantageously!
Tentative plans are to conduct a sheep-shearing school here in’ the county. My advice to farmers owning sheep is to learn how to shear yourself or allow one of your men time to learn. Shearing is Hard work if you don’t know how . . . fairly easy if you do. Those interested in learning how to do the job in the easiest manner, .contact my office so we can notify you when and where the school will be held. Can’t say until iwe can get several rigs lined up. Don’t forget the Tri-Breed Show and Sale at Winchester (Farmers Livestock Exchange) on Saturday, May 19. The show will begin at 9:30 in the morning and the sale at 1 o’clock in the afternoon. The sale includes: Angus—9 bulls and 28 females; Hereford—7 bulls and 26 females; Shorthorn—8 bulls
