Tbls is particularly true in\nwestern Canada. With a very few exceptions no attempt is made to gather\nup tho lot't over of tho harvest Held,\nin fact, it Is doubtful IT it would be\neconomy to spend the necessary lime\nto do so, At the same time many dollars aro losi by allowing it lo go to\nwaste. This Is where a Clock of sheep\nfit in to ttood advantage. This wus\nbrought to our attention In a very convincing way whllo at the Saskutcho-\nwun university farm this fall.\nThe college ft.rm flock had been\ngivott the run of the stubble fields,\nand with no other feed whatever they\nwere ln a thriving condition. When\nthey bad cleaned ono field thoy were\nturned into tho noxt and this would\nbe continued until every particle of\nfood was picked up. U Is a conservative estimate that many thousands of\ndollars worth of feed is sacrificed eaeh\nfall, whereas If a small flock of sheep\nwore kepi on every farm this would\nnot bo the case, ln addition tu the\nsheep a number of sows were getting\na living from tho stable fields at\nSaskatoon.\nHast wlntor tlio brooding ewes ut\ntills farm wore wintered out In tho\nopen, the only protection beijig a small\nclump of trees.
