Tn sheep breeding there is Lnt ouo j wuy of keepiug the ideal sheep, and j that is by trying to improve it. Liko j all other stock oa tko farm sheep are either improving or deteriorating, according to the management giveD. By using a thoroughbred ram and mating to carefully selected ewes a gradual improvement can bo made, while if no particular earo is taken in the selection of the breeding animals tliero 1 will be a gradual running down. WiU^fl good management a ram can of the ewm usually kept oa that the expense is comparatively mall. Of course tho improvement will be greater at tlio start than later on. That is, a good ram will add more to the improvement of sheep that shear four or live pounds of wool than to those that shear eight or more. j Tho plan in ai'i eases is to brood tbo boat rain t.) tin? best owes.
