One spb~'autiai, positive fpcf Ike Wis
il worth 81 the RECOMMENDATION t0eOries
that the volumes OF n thousand authors
c1nld furnish.
Like many other theories originating
IN interested purposes, the Bsntlemen
in Vermont nd N.YOrk have foe woaled
sheep 10 sell, and they depfeciate the
sheep of other sections, and tfy TO sho"
by false reasoning that their oHh Sre
the best. They forget shat seml-troll-
cal Spain furnishes the Spanish meriho
from which all the fine wooded sheep
have sprung.
Tie trnt6 is, as Mr.. Cockfill demon
strsted forty years ago, that the South
il The natural home of ihe fine wooded
sheen: and nowhere else do the merinos
attain such perfection aud MAINTAIN
such perfect health as In the Southern
States. .
The missing OF fine wool was overdone
in the West a few years since n
whole fl chs were slaughtered in order to
get rid of the surplus sheep; but there
i. O a demand again for foe wool.
Thousands of Western people never
t1uch mutton, aud will not allow II on
their tables, owing 10 the extreme rank
ness or mutton flavor of the meat ID
that climate. In the South, owing to
the open winters and pleasant sam
mprs, the sheep keep in perfect health,
and there is no check to the secretlons,
and all the oily rankness posses into the
wool and out OF the natural emuuctorles.
Oar mutton is, 10 consequences the best
on the continent, and is a wsloorn ar
ticle of food on any table. A saddle OF
mutton from q merino wether, 10 good
fat, is a dish that no one would u
away from.
Every Southern farmer and planter
should provide himself with a good stock
of sheep; the only risk is from dogs;
and q Tennessee dog tax would soon end
that risk. The Honorable Outfoe Black,
while death on hogs, has very little APP
petite for mutton, and sheep are com
paratively exempt from his nocturnal
depredations but no one should under
take 10 raise sh eep without having pens
or folds in which to put them every
night. These pens should be updfl
safe protection curing the night, and
ought to be SO arranged that one pl c
of ground could he used As a gardeI
or patch while another pen was used a
q fold. The urinary drippings are
equal to the buckshot droppings fol
manure.
