A writer in the Freemmfs ]ourna} re
quests the printers in the United States to
: pubhsh his opinion, that——lt is better not to
cross the Merino breed os sheep, but keep
them separate, that in a few years all other
sheep may be excluded. Is we have only
the finest wool what shall we do sor coarse
\ woolen Cloths .? Import them? Some lands
are unsit for the Merino breed. Long wool
si is wanted as much as fine—some sheep are

The NeW-York Mercantile Advertiser

cssrossing the breed with out common sheep
; a new breed may be produced not inferior,

him to forget the past, and enter into the
