TERRECULTURAL.
CHOOSING SHEEP FOR BREEDING.

One of the two species of sheep, the long
and the short wooled, having been chosen as tho
most appropriate TO the situation, and wool be-
ing made an object, it is most advantageous TO
select such hocks as are pure as possible Of the
species to which they belong, and not a mixture
of the short and long wooded breeds, which must
generally produce an inferior fleece, dlsadvanta-
geous TO the manufacturer. Length of staple
IN the length, and ~fneness, elasticity, and close
ness in the short wooded fleece, will be the best
guide in this case.
Whether the wool be long or short, the car
cass of the animal ought to be amply and regu-
larry covered; it is a great defect when the belly
IS bare, and still greater when the wool is thin
and open on the ridge of the back, admitting
rain and moisture TO a most susceptible part, in
deed, to descend upon all parts Of the body.
1t is a piece of good old advice TO buy your
rams a little before shearing time, if possible;
and a very necessary modern addition, TO make
the opportunity Of purchasing at the farmers
house, while you see the animal in puris ndttrdI-
ibuS, and before be has been decked out and
trimmed for show by the sheep barber. A thick
fleece, covering all parts with as much equality
as possible, containing plenty of yoN, or retain
ed, or lnsisslpatedp erspiration is the object. II
ewes, equally woll-brcd, can be procured, the
shepherd anticipates and reaps an immediate
benefit; if not, he must patiently wait improve
ment of his wool, through the medium Of tho
superior blood Of his rams.
AT shearing time, examine the bottoms of the
fleece, or the lower extremitles of the filaments
of wool; if it be stichy-haired, of mixed quality,
or If the sheep have a coarse breech, or be not
well covered, it must be rejected, as improper
for a breeding stock, where it would perpetrate
its defects. The quantity of yolk or grease is a
good proof of the thickness of the wool, tho
grease or perspirable matter of the animal is re-
tanned; hence, fine, curled wool, has ever the
greatest quantity of yolk.-BaM Memoirs.
