We take the following from the
lIonongahcla City Rep"0|'ca"'
published in Washington county
Penn.
Last year we published the clip
Of Robert Van Voorhis' American
Merino flock, and called attention
to its height. weight and average.
he item was copied in the agrl-
cultural journals of this country, in
the English Wool Groccr, and the
Australian Zchrcn Zohhn Most OF
these journals pronounced it, with
ont exception, the largest know Il
average; some Of them doubted its
nulhiulncss. We now give the
spring clip for 1880, and in the full
confidence that it cannot be, We
challenge the world to beat it.
