vious to the lth Of May, 1916. Then
we had the pleasure of visit from Mr..
John A. Taintor Of Hartford tn whom
sold two rams and seven ewes, since then

OF visit from Mr.. Isaac de forrest of

1851 50 ewes aud 8 bucks. In 1852.
sold him 81 ewes, and to deliver in
1853. | have sold him 90 ewes. I also
received visit from Mr.. Parker and
Mr. Howard of Champaign, Ohio, to
whom could not sell any ewes this year
or next, to their great regret.
From the various essays made by nv
father to improve the merino breed, and
those which | have continued to effect on
The same principles, we have arrived at
the conclusion, that in order to improve
the breed, we must not allow our ewes
tn yean lambs I'LL three years old, and to
use no bucks until they had arrived al
full maturity. 1t was necessary to feed
them upon sound land dry in preference
To damp pas,urage and to renew the
blood OF the flock every five or six years.
u you are longer in renewing it, one can
maintain the same quality in his flock,
but cannot amelorate it. We separate
the ewes into as many lots as we have
bucks, taking particular caution not to
Use ram of any d, feet 10 ewes Of the

ment of the race.
We did not decide upon exhibiting our
focks for the prize until S4i, when the
