The editor suggests that the farmers send in their experience in regard to their profits in raising diferent kinds of grain and stock. I find in my farm record what we did with a small lot of sheep in the year 1876. In the spring, after shearing-time, we bought a lot of fourteen (having just sold one flock). The fourteen sheep cost us $40, being low at that time of the year. The next May we sold nine buck lambs to the butcher at $3 25 per head, making $29 25. In June, we sold the wool clipped from them, seventy-five pounds, at twenty-three cents per pound, making $17 25. Besides, we had eight fine ewe lambs left, worth $4 each, making $32. Counting the wool, the lambs sold, and those kept, the amount was $78 50 from the $40 invested. We have done very nearly as well every year since. In order to have your buck lambs ready for the early spring market, they should come in January. Thos. SHROYER.
