above heading, we take from q recent number
Of the Oregon Union. II is written BY s.
B. Rockwell, and contains much that merits
Consideration:
There a sayinc,w well nigh crystaIised into
. truiom, viz. that he who causes two spears
ofgrass to grow where only one grew before,
sbould be regarded as . public benefactor.
there is smother maxim in Spain, equally
significant, viz. that wherever the Merino
sheep presses is foot to the soil, the land IL
turned 70 gold. This, Of course, is fgura.
live Nov if it is possible to make one hun.
dfsdacres equal TO four hundred, or one
th0psapa acres equivalent to four thousand

dpne By substituting the very best improved
sheep TOR the coarse ones. Indeed three hun
dred sores stocked with heavy-shearing Meri.
nos will give itS proprietor as large yearly
income . twelve hundred acres stocked with
cOarss vooled sheep. This difference Is true
Of ths Aeeces. and equally true Of the sheep
eold for The improvement of pOorer fOcks.
Ne eaae msy be clearly stated in few
words The coarse sheep yield fleece worth
h New York or Boston so or 20 cents; the
Merino yield Heece worth in the same mar.
