SMITHS ISLAND SHEEP.

But few persons have more zeaIousIy contribu
ted to the advancement of American agriculture
and manufactures than G. w Gusts. In late
tract, which this gentleman has published with d
view to promote these objects, we have minute
account of the sheep on Smiths Island. This
island lies off the eastern coast of Virginia, and
contains between and 1000 acres. On the is.
land there were lately between and 800 shaep
which were perfectly wild and are supposed
to have originated from the common sheep of the
country, which were placed on the island abou,
20 years ago. The change which has been pro.
duced in the quality of the fleece during this Pc
Rod, and which is attributed 20 the situation, eli
mate and pasturag :, is said to be astonishing
In fineness, Mr.. Gusts thinks this wool superior
to any in the world while it is longer than the
Merino wool, being when full grown from five
TO nine inches in length, and sometimes more
In quantity he states il to be vastly SUPERIOR as
the sheep yield twice as much, and in some in.
stances more. They are generally sheared twice
year for which purpose they are taken by STRAIT.
agem. Mr.. C's account of these sheep, af-
fords many useful hints to the breeder of this val
liable animal.
