Stewart's Shepherd's Manual.
By Henry Stewart. A valuable practical treatise on the sheep for American
farmers and sheep growers. It is so plain that a farmer or a farmer's son
who has never kept a sheep, may learn from its pages how to manage a flock
successfully, and yet so complete that even the experienced shepherd may
gather many suggestions from it. The results of personal experience of
some years with the characters of the various modern breeds of sheep, and
the sheep raising capabilities of many portions of our extensive territory
and that of Canada--and the careful study of the diseases to which our
sheep are chiefly subject, with those by which they may eventually be
afflicted through unforeseen accidents--as well as the methods of
management called for under our circumstances, are carefully described.
