product Of wool. The ewes used in breed.

the points Of excellence desired In tho off,
spring; they should at least be two years
old, Of good strong constitution, well fed
and well sheltered. Such ewes, with such
management, win generally realize the fond
hopes Of the shepherd for increase. Growth
afterward Is natural, easy and rapid, The
product Of wool depends much upon the
health Of the sheep, both for strength and
beauty Of fibre, and weight of feeces.
