PLAN No. 615. SHEEP MAKE MONEY FOR THIS MAN

Reading edition

Here is what this farmer has to say:

“In January, 1913, I owned a flock of ninety sheep worth approximately $900. During the following year I purchased a buck for $32 and fed $50 worth of pasture and $80 worth of salable feed. I sold $225 worth of sheep and $210 worth of wool and on October 1, 1914, I had 125 head of sheep remaining, worth $1,250. I therefore figure my net profit, exclusive of labor, $623. However, the sheep made me more money than this, as I let them run on summer fallow and they saved me the expense of cutting the weeds. It seems to me every wheat farmer should have some sheep.”
