To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In April and May, a lamb weighing 40 pounds will often sell for $10. Those farmers who make the raising of early lambs a special business, follow one of two methods. In one case they keep a permanent flock of ewes, selected for their good character as nurses and milkers, quiet in disposition, docile, and easily managed, and ready to act as foster mothers to other lambs whose mothers have been sent away. The other plan is to purchase, late in the sum- mer, a flock of ewes, as well selected as ma...y be, from which to raise a crop of spring lambs ; the ewes are then shorn, and after- wards fattened and sent to market before the year is complete. Which of these two methods would be the best to adopt depends upon circumstances. The first plan needs for its successful opera- , tion a farm suitable for pasturing sheep, or which has at least suflScient suitable summer pasture for the flock. For the second plan little or no pasture is required ; a rough field in which the ewes may run while being fed for market, or a run upon the clover sod to be ploAfv^e^ for com in May, being all "that is required.
