Excerpt from Sheep Feeding and Farm Management
This book is the result of an original investigation carried on by the author, covering a period of about four years. It is based on farm practices as they occur in the United States, - particularly in the Middle West, - and their relation to the feeding of sheep for market.
Its purpose Is to furnish to those interested in the feeding of sheep for market, whether students or farmers, the information that will enable them to carry on the necessary operations profitably.
The student desiring to inform himself regarding the most modern and profitable methods for buying, feeding, and marketing sheep, instinctively turns to the literature on the subject. Save for a few bulletins on experimental sheep feeding, he finds that the field has been practically untouched. He sees in our agricultural press frequent reports and comments that seem to point to this phase of farming as not only profitable but also sound, and advisable from the standpoint of the economical use of crops, the conservation of soil fertility, and the saving of labor. Naturally he desires a reliable and practical source of information on the subject. Hence to the student the author would commend these pages, trusting that in their study he will find the answers to his questions, and fact and plans that will aid him in his future farm operations.
