This sells at top prices- With good care the lambs should average 90 to 100 pounds by the time they are six months old. The ewes are excellent mothers, and as a rule. raise a large percentage of lambs. Often I0 per cant. of the ewes will have twins.

Shropshire-.s are not as large as

some of the other breeds; i50 to 175 pounds for ewes, and 175 to B0 pounds for rams lu nice thrifty soa- dlition is usually considered a good sae.

STARTING A BREEDING BIDCK.

The imported Shropshire is important

in developing flocks. but his Arrrericafl cousin is going to give him a warm re- ception. I think this coming season will hrdng out a large number of lrnme-bred sheep at many of the fairs.

The man who has not had experignce.

and is thinking of starting in the pure- bred Bhropslrlre business. should firsh

attend a state fair where s number of` good flocks are represented, compare the i different flocks, visit with the owners. and get a lot of useful information. Do A not for et to pay attention to the sais sheep that appear practically in their everyday form. Then if you can spare the time. go to one or two of the good. breeding establishments. See the whole flock as they are at home .and learn all you can of the method of caring for

them.
