s,,ation in regard to when he can get

- cross on his flock and also in regard
20 the amount of wool produced by the
south Down.
Now it is generally considered in this
section Of country, to be good policy as
far as convenient, to move stock East,
West. or south, in preference TO North.
I .hall therefore begin to name the emf
uent breeders Of Downs with whose
docks am acquainted from the North,
without attempting to classify only prem

and Mr.. Pierce.
twill hardly beeNpected that should
attempt any description OF the Downs,
and it only remains for me to say that
the fleece of the modern South Down, is
considerably heavier than heretofore
averaging among the best breeders not
far from six pounds of unwashed wool.
The Shropshires and indeed all the made
ND breeds into which the South Down
element has been incorporated, yield
heavier fleeces than the original breed.
The subject Of breeding mutton sheep

he asks the question, because / thought
il might have a local interest.
