From the New England Farmer |

SHEARING SHaEP.-Writers on agri-
culture, mostly assert that we commonly
shear our sheep too early in this country.
In England where the season is more for
ward than with us, they shear sheep in
June, or the fore part ofJuly. But Lem
uel Briggs, Esq Of Bristol, in articles
published in the New England Farmer,
vol. iii. pages 283, 287, stated certain
facts, which would seem favorable to ear
y shearing; and in certain circumstances,
and particularly with sheep that are not
washed there can be no doubt hut tie
practice may be beneficial, Mr. Briggs
stated in substance that Mr. Rouse Potter
of Prudence Island, Narraganset bay,
Rhode Island, who kept nine hundred
and fifty sheep, and lost two the proceed
ing winter, begins to shear them by the
first of May, if the Weather is favor
able and continues daily until he
completes his shearing For the first
week he puts those sheared under cover
in close yards every night by tbat time
the wool will grow so AS to give them
sufficient covering. by this practice Of
early shearing he gains much wool. which
formerly, when he put his shearlng off
till the middle of june, the sheep would
shed and further when thus early shear
ed, the wool begins to start and grow
much quicker than when shearng is de-
ferred to the usual time He says former
ly, being exposed immediately after shear
ing, to the rays OF the sun, their bare backs
would frequently become sore aud scab-
by, when no wool will grow till healed,
and then what does grow from the scars,
is thinner and coarser than the rest.
"Mr Potter states from actual expert
ment that he not only gets more wool,
which would otherwise be lost, but the
succeeding ,Uooi will be from half an inch
to an inch longer, if sheared early than it
will be if delayed to the usual time Of
shcaring. And farther, there is not the
same necessity for washing the sheep
as the wool is much cleaner and more
free from sand and dirt, when taken off
early, than it would be if suffered to re-
main on their backs until hot sun had
compelled them to seek refuge under
walls and fences"
The foregoing authorities are apparent
ly contradictory as respects the time Of
year in which to shear sheep. But Mr.
Potter did not wash his sheep before
shearing, which must make considerable
difference with regard to risk from cold
and MIR Potter was careful to shelter his
sheep after shearing, which must in
great measure obvia,e the disadvantages
Of early shearing.
