I have hitherto principally confined my
observations to the native breed Of sheep on
our Island. twill be proper, before l con-
clude, to advert to the meritorious and sue
cessful attempts which have been made by
his majesty, and by lord Someryille, and
ether distinguished characters, to improve
the woods of England, by IN intermixture
1f the Spanish breed Of sheep wit South
! Down and other focks. These experiments
will, have no doubt, not only increase the
fneness, but the softness of English cloth
ing woods, by increasing the quantity of
yolk contained in the fleece. In the pure
Spanish breed, for some time at least after
their introduction, this supply Of yolk is so
plentiful, that the use Of an ointment for
the wool may not be necessary. | would
however recommend, that immediately af-
shearing, the sheep should be rubbed on
thcsback and sides with olive oil, lard and
wax, to preserve them from cold and wet
after they have been barred, and exposed to
the injurious effects of this changeable cli-
mate. have little doubt that this practice
would Improve and preserve the soundness
OF the wool. If they had confined their OBJ
servations 10 the effects Of climate on the
fneness or coarseness Of the hair, should
so far have agreed with them, that there are
no. causes operating in the nature of our
own climate, to prevent woods being grown
in our island, equal in this respect to those
ofSpain. There are, however, other quail
ties on which the external influences of eli.
mate and soil can be proved to effect a
change by undeniable facts. These are con.
stantly acting on the surface of the fleece.
and claim the attention of the wool-grow
en
The experiencing producing fine wool
from Spanish sheep, has been fairly tried in
Saxony for nearly half century. have
hadin my possession, and carefully examin-
cd, many hundreds of these Aeecss, which
equal in hneness the very finest Spanish wool
j ever saw. The wool is true grown. viz.
there is but very small quantity of an In
