Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1898, by American Sheep Breeder Press, in the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington.
Preface
Since the publication of the Shepherds' Manual by the present author a vast increase has occurred in the estimation in which the sheep has been held by American farmers, and indeed this great agricultural interest has advanced by strides everywhere all over the civilized world where agriculture has reached its full development. And while the work mentioned is still in print and circulation, and fills a useful place in the special literature of the farm, yet circumstances have occurred which make it desirable that some newer work of wider adaptation to the great interest involved should be undertaken for the information of all concerned in the rearing of sheep and for the encouragement of this part of farm industry.
This present work is therefore offered to shepherds in the hope that it may be found useful and effective in advancing this important interest, and in assisting to more fully develop the breeding and rearing of sheep.
Henry Stewart.
