SHEEP HUsBANDRY IN THE UNITED STATES
According 10 a calculation made some few years
since, there were in the United States 34,oo0,OOO
of sheep. At moderate and rational computa.
ton the value of these may safely be estimated
at 70,o0O,O 900 and the amount of wool, annual.
ly produced at S4O,o00,0O0. Of this vast flock
The state of New.York, owned at the time of ma.
king the above estimate, nearly y One:ffth. For
the five years Immediately preceding that time,
the increase of sheep in the United States, aver
aged 100000 per year. Since then it has pro-
badly been much greater.
