The American Mer1no.

From Rural New Yorker
The Merino is the oldest domes
ticated sheep. 1t supplied the an.
Client Romans with the fine wool
from which the imperial purple
robes wore manufactured, and with
such care was the wool grown, that
the sheep which bore it were con-
tinually blanketed or otherwise pro.
tected, even in the warm climate of
Spain. From that time up to 1909
and 1910 the Spanish Merino stood
first as a wool producer, and in those
years nearly 1000 of those sheep
were imported into America from
the choicest hocks of that country
a few importations had been made
in 1900 and the following years !;
and it was from the importations of
1902, by Col. Humphreys, that some
OF the best strains of Vermont Mer.
inoes have descended The history
OF these Merinoes and their descend.
ants has been varied and eventfnl.
and their cups and downs" have
been wonderful. Animals have sold
for one dollar at one time, and $40,
600 have been refused for one at
another time. But, after all, we
have now arrived at a steady sub.
stantial cO1di.iun in which this
sheep, excellent in every respect,
stands upon its merits, as the first
variety in the world as regards util-
lty. 1t is tho basis of our enormous
wool production of 250,000,00O lbs.
par annum, worth to-day 800 900
900. 1t supplies directly the cloths
used tor mems garments, the finer
fabrics for ladies wooden clothing,
the mixed fabrics of wool and cotton
known as dslaines, and by other
names recognized only by ladies, as
we'll as for an infiuite variety of
articles OF lesser note LIS wool is
not only carded, bat is com bed and
therefore supplies u wide range OF
uses. Indirectly, as the parent of
grades, 1t helps to produce woods
fitted for nearly every use, from the
carpets under our fest to the hats
upon our heads, the umbrellas which
shelter US from the shower, and the
broad flag which waves over and
shelters svery CITIZEN from foes At
home or abroad
Formerly its carcass furnished
but poor quality of mutton, but
now its mutton is respectable both
as to size and flavor. Crossed IN.
der the larger breeds it furnishes
the best and latest market lambs,
and makes desirable mutton for
home use and for export. In short,
If one intends to keep sheep of
whatever kind, unles IL be some
other pure variety for breeding, he
cannot begin without the help of
the American Merino. IL not only
exists as a splendid example of sue
cesstul breeding, but it points en-
phatlcally to the hope that in time
We may produce distinctive types
of other breeds as greatly improved
upon the imported originals as this
has been.

Tae appearance of the camp this

questions as the following are fire.
quent: "Say, Badger, where's the
Ohio headquarters?" or, "Have you
seen any 9Th Wisconsin boys around
here?' or, "Hellol old boy, shakel"
The explanation is that the boys are
looking up old chums. Men from
the same state are ell blood relation

headquarters are found and the
scene changes.
Quiet now reigns in the street
