Inlcrot In Sheep (ironing
More Nebraska farmers every yenr
are finding sheep n profitable side
line, just as they have found a good
flock of poultry to be w.ll worth
while. A small flock of well-bred
hheep sheep about the place will yield
some profit every year, and, like
poultry, when the amount of labor
and investment is considered, this
ptofit becomes significant. Sheep
pioduee three crops a veitr- wool in
the .spring, lambs in the summer, and !
ewes in the fall. The Statu college'
of agriculture is encouraging sheep
raising, on the theory that I hey have,
a place in diversified farming. The
college is sending out much valuable
literature dealing with all phases of
sheep raising. One circular called
tained at county farm bureau offices.
