That's something to brag of in these days, when so many are giving up the sheep industry." "How many sheep have you, uncle ?" asked Miss Laura.
"Only fifty, now.

Twenty-five here and twenty-five down below in the orchard.

I've been selling a good many this spring." "These sheep are larger than those in the orchard, aren't they ?" said Miss Laura.
"Yes; I keep those few Southdowns for their fine quality.

I don't make as much on them as I do on these Shropshires.

For an all-around sheep I like the Shropshire.
