Excerpt from Sheep Husbandry in Minnesota

This book is written in the hope that it may prove helpful to the farmers of our state. The author is continually receiving letters from those engaged in sheep husbandry asking for information bearing upon every phase of the industry. Many of the letters thus received ask for a book that will cover the subject from the standpoint of Northwestern conditions. Such a book has not previously been written, and the work is intended in some measure at least to supply the need. In writing it the author has endeavored to produce a book that will enable the farmer who has never kept sheep previously to take up the work without the hazard of making mistakes such as are so frequently made by beginners. The measure of the success attained must be left to the judgment of a fair-minded public. The book is donated to the farmers of Minnesota in the hope that in some degree at least it will help to make our state what it may and ought to be, viz., the greatest sheep-producing state in all the Union.
