The Shropshire is undoubtedly the

Because they are robust; adapting
themselves to all climates and condi-

him a good return for his feed and
labor. A good flock of Bhropahiras
should average from nine to ten
Pounds ot wool. 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
