SELECTION. In the selection of sheep for the foundation of a flock the first question to be set- tled is whether you are going to breed principally for wool or for mutton, and the next is the question of what breed to adopt. In deciding both of these questions your own inclinations should be considered, for you are apt to be more successful when your own inclinations are followed, as more interest will be taken. It is also advisable in deciding these questions to study good authorities on the sheep in- dustry and also to seek the advice of some well posted sheep raiser who has had experience in handling sheep. After these questions have been settled, the selections of the individuals follow. In this as with other stock, only strong, healthy, vigorous animals should be used for breeding. When you succeed in raising a particularly fine animal, one which shows the best points, keep that animal for your own use in breeding and dispose of some not as good in quality. By following this rule you will soon have a fine flock of vigorous and healthy sheep.
