his sheep this season has Mr. Williams Sc
cured feeces weighing largely in excess of
the ordinary yield, while for length and quail
ity it must be an extraordinary fleece that can
equal or surpass his. From one fleece we
were given sample measuring sixteen inch
es in length, and the fleece trife less than a
years growth. So Windham is ably repre-
sented in both the departments of the wool
growing interest, and by management to that
end, car have the honor of being the Banner
town in Portage, as Wool Growers. Another
season we. trust the public exercises of the
Association will be more widely announced,
and therefore more largely attended.
