TIE HOST PROFITABLE BREED OF SHEEP.

There is much discussion upon the ques-
ton as to the most profitable breed OF
sheep. One party asserts that the true
breed IS the finest and purest SaXony
another IS equally certain that It's the
hardy gummy Merino; Thirds opposed
10 all fine wooled sheep, and can only
grow the South Down; while still another
can see no profit in any but the long
wooled and stately Cotswold or Leices-
ter; while a great multitude are in favor
of the mongrels, obtained by a cross from
part or all Of the kinds mentioned.
The object Of raising sheep, as Of any
other kind of farming, is to make money,
10 turn the herbage into cash. The best
breed Of sheep for the farmer to adopt
will depend in great degree upon his 10
cality. Whether near or at distance
from good market for live stock, as large
towns, or upon railroads leading thereto;
whether in grain growing or grazing dis
trici. or IN warm or cold climate.
Il IS settled that fine sta pie Of wool
cannot be grown upon profitable carcass
for the butcher. A large and early ma
turing sheep, like The South Down and
Cotswold, cannot be made 10 produce
fine clothing wool. But the wool they do
produce IS valuable, and brings a rcmuncr-
uerating price, especially the long wool Of
The Lciccsters. Then coarser and larger
bodied sheep require q larger amount Of
pasture, and cannot be keptin large tlocks.
For the farmer who keeps but few, say
from 80 to 100, We should recommend
the coarse wooded sheep. Many farmer,
who can keep his 80 or so head, could
make his two dollars annually clear upon
each with very little trouble. It would
require care, and that is what grea, many
farmers complain of, though constantly
grambiIng Of hard times. In warm eli
mate, and especially at the South, fine
wooded Saxons should be- preferred. The
experience Of wears demonstrates that, in
she growing OF fine wool, the South need
have 10 competitor, and we feel fully sat
lsied that it would now be the most pro
tltable branch Of their agricultural indus
try. There are focEs In that region y hjch
