Sheep Farming
By JOHN A. CRAIG and F. R. MARSHALL
Illustrated. Cloth, 12mo. $1.50 net.
This book deals with sheep husbandry as a phase of intensive farming. Recognizing that it is likely to be used by persons unfamiliar with sheep, the authors have worked from the standpoint of the producer of market stock, rather than from the standpoint of the professional breeder. The various breeds are discussed in such a way as to enable the reader to select the kind that is most likely to do well under his conditions and to acquaint him with the care it is accustomed to and needs. The management of the flock in the fall, winter, spring and summer seasons, the formation of the flock, the selection of foundation stock, and the means of maintaining a high standard of flock efficiency, are all discussed in subsequent chapters.

Illustrated. Cloth, 12mo. Preparing.

He was formerly Professor of Agriculture in the Mississippi Agricultural College, and now conducts a branch station or farm for the United States Department of Agriculture.
