They dropped 53 lambs, of which I saved 47. I fed these more seed, as I had plenty, and fed on the ground, which caused a waste of nearly one-half the seed. Cotton seed can be purchased at the gins at from three to four dollars per ton of 2, 000 pounds. One ton will winter from 10 to 15 sheep when fed on the ground; if fed in troughs, it would winter 20 to 30 sheep. I suppose the seed must be good feed, as the sheep look well. A neigh- bor of mine, who was a large sheep-breeder in Ohio, says th...at one ton to 40 sheep is enough when they have the run of a pasture, and that he can winter well a sheep at ten cents per head. 22 There are many cotton plantations in the South that are too much worn to make the cultivation of cotton profitable that c/mld be brought to their original fertility by feeding sheep with cotton seed on the fields. These plantations could be divided into four fields, one of which could be set to Bermuda grass, which will afford grazing for as many sheep as eight or ten per acre as long as it would be healthy to keep them on it; one field could be sown with cow-pease, and fed off the ground daring the winter; and, after the pease and vines were consumed, the sheep could be fed on the field the balance of the winter on cotton seed, and their droppings, together with manure from the pea-vine, would double the crop of cotton; and by this means the planter would enrich his land and himself at the same time.
