Excerpt from Sheep Management: A Handbook for the Shepherd and Student There are several books on sheep husbandry written by good authorities on the subject which have been of great aid to flockmasters. However, there is need for a book written in simple, compre hensible: every-day language dealing with the practical problems of sheep husbandry. This book has been prepared not only to serve the shepherd in his every-day work, but also to meet the require ments of the student in the classroom. Numerous inquiries from flocko'wners from many sections'of the country for information rela tive to sheep husbandry and the troubles connected with the industry, the requests of many friends and students, and especially the urgent requests of Dean Henry and later of Dean Russell, both of the College of Agriculture of the University of vviscon sin, have induced the author to prepare this book. Judging from many letters recei'ved, not only the beginners with sheep, but also some of the more experienced men, often have many difficulties.
