Sheep Breeding Aimed at Quality Wool and Fleece Length

J H Edison of Michigan shares methods for improving sheep by choosing well bred stock with strong constitution and uniform fleece. He notes avoiding bucks with diminishing fleece length, describes current flock as short legged and heavy bodied with compact wool, and cites clipping yields from June 188% including twelve two year old ewes averaging twelve pounds two ounces, heaviest fleece 14 pounds.

Pigs Thrive on Grass and Free Feed for Profit

A farmer argues pigs grow healthier and cheaper on pasture and varied forage rather than corn in pens. He suggests neighbors should provide hog ranges, sharing corn to boost profits while preserving pig health, and warns against fattening pigs in foul pens. The Connecticut Farmer note adds value of vegetable tops for compost and urges saving cornstalk ashes for soil potash while turning in weeds rather than letting them reseed.
