/ Lansing state Merino sheep breeders' aenocla :
ton Mas formed New York had already
formed like society. The object was to in
vite the uuiou and cooperation of these state
socIetiehin order TO form anational associs-
ton.
The want OF such society has long been fat
BY the hockm nsers Of the country, especially
of thos west Of vermont The large increase
81 the average weight Of deeces in Vermont
and in the United States from 1850 to 1870 Is .
strong argument in favor OF organization and
united effort to preserve and improve the blood
of the Merino sheep, and it is believed that
this great industry can be materially improved,
and that the wealth OF the state and nation
can be largely increased by putting thorough
bred sheep or the best blood At the head OF the
fiocks.
In 1850, the aversge weight OF feeces IN the
sheep of Vermont was ga pounds In 1850,
the leeces OF the sheep OF Vermont had in
creased to AS pounds. In. 1870 the deeces OF
Vermont averaged 51S pounds, an increase OF
one pound and three ounces MAO years.
1t is ths intention Of the men engaged in
this new movement to add to wool production
in the west in the same ratlo IT can only be-
done by yhigh breeding and BY the use or im-
proved and thoroughbred slres. From 186Oto
1870 Vermont sent carload after carload OK the
prime blooded sheep of Vermont to Michigan,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and other states.
The increase OF the weight o! fleece OF nearly
two pounds was due to this importation into
other states OF the superior sheep Of Vermont
and the lninsionof that blood into the hocks
of these western states. 4. : q.
