Excerpt from Sheep Husbandry: A Work Prepared for the Farmers of Tennessee The question as to the capability of Tennessee as a sheep growing section has long been settled, and, therefore, it is unnecessary to bring forward any arguments on the subject. Not only is this State well calculated to make sheep hus bandry profitable, but it has claims in an especial degree that are not possessed by any other States of our Union. This industry has of late years received an impetus not hitherto known, from the introduction of a system of rail roads all over the United States. Before their general con struction lambs could be bought at any time for one dollar apiece, in fact, the farmer considered himself amply re remunerated if he secured that price. N ow, the great markets of New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and, in fact, all the northern and eastern cities, from Louisville and Cincinnati to St. Paul and Portland, in Maine, draw their early lambs from the more genial climes of the South, and so great is the competition that the farmer who has large fat lambs to sell in May or the first of June can get from three to four dollars apiece. Nor does the market cease with the early ones, but extends through the entire summer for all grades of lambs, and later for fat ewes and wethers. This stimulus has acted so strongly upon sheep raising that no farmer Should, or does, think his farm stocked without a flock of sheep ranging from a score or two to several thousand, according to the capacity of the farm or range. And not only has it shown itself in the increased numbers raised, but it has acted in a wonderful manner in improving the stock or character of the sheep.

Excerpt from Sheep-Farming in North America N o branch of animal husbandry has passed through so many serious changes in the last century as has the sheep-raising industry. Established, and for many years continued, with wool as the main oh ject, the successive changes have seemed to make the mutton side of sheep-raising more and more important. The more comprehensive books upon sheep em phasized wool-production and were largely devoted to diseases. The present volume considers the sheep as having an important place or part in intensive stock-farming. American farmers, as a rule, are not prepared to give sheep the attention they will repay, or that is necessary if the possibilities of employing them in the utilization of high-priced lands are to be realized. The range areas devoted to sheep are diminishing, and, as the industry comes to have a more stable position on general farms, the supplies and market prices may be expected to be more uniform than in the past.

"Conditions created by the European war have made sheep raising on a small scale a very profitable enterprise for the New England farmer so situated as to take advantage of the economic conditions. Prior to the recent remarkable advance in prices of wool and mutton, sheep raising in New England was comparatively unprofitable, but now, under certain conditions, a revival of the industry seems desirable. This bulletin tells briefly how the industry was organized in 1914, and discusses the difficulties to be met in expanding the business, with special reference to improvement in breeding stock, better care, and more efficient disease control." -- p. 2
Excerpt from Sheep, Farm and Station Management OR many years there has been a demand in sheep-raising F countries for a book that will serve as a guide, philosopher and friend to the man engaged in producing two of the world's staple commodities, wool and meat, and with a view to satisfying the demand I have attempted, in the narrow confines of this volume, to furnish advice on the many questions with which the sheep man is faced in the course of his work. It should be understood that what is written is primarily for the assistance of the beginner although it is hoped that even the man with years of practical experience will find in the following pages some hints or helpful suggestions that were previously outside his knowledge. I have been particularly fortunate in compiling this work in having at my disposal the columns of The Pastoral Review, a publication which, as its name implies, -is devoted to the furtherance of the grazing and farming industries, and whose pages are replete with articles on every conceivable phase of sheep husbandry, written not by professional journalists, but by men who have been through the mill, and whose contributions are based on knowledge acquired during long and practical experience. It is this knowledge that I have endeavoured to put together in con densed and consecutive form, covering the whole field from the taking up of an unimproved block of country and dealing with every phase of station and farm management including construction of improvements choice of breed of sheep - with description of each a brief discussion on wool, every regular operation on a sheep property, such as mating, lambing, marking, classing, shearing, dipping, etc., the diseases of sheep and their treatment, and so on.
