Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lippincott's: Farm Manuals
The Sheepman now realizes that the march towards the setting sun in search of new and cheap range is over, and that various phases of agriculture are demanding and receiving recognition In regions which he once regarded as solely his own. He also realizes that land values have advanced and the cost of. Operation increased to the point where the haphazard and wasteful methods once prae ticed in handling Sheep can no longer be depended upon to yield profits.
All of these changes presage a better and more successful sheep husbandry, and this book is offered with the hope that it Will be of use both to the student and to the. Sheep raiser in comprehending the place which sheep justly deserve in our agriculture and the methods Of handling which will result in permanent occupancy of this place.
The author fully realizes that this volume is not a complete treatise on sheep husbandry. He also realizes how unfortunate it would be for sheepmen generally to attempt to apply without any modification whatever all of the suggestions this book contains; for no absolute rule can be laid down for each and every practice in ?ock husbandry.
