The Huntingdon NetCs says that Mr..
John NJ Stewart, of Saulsburg that county,
sheep, each one of which had twins, and OF
the number twenty-five have been raised.
Last year each of his sheep averaged about
twelve pounds of wool, at S3 so a pound.
He advises farmers who are obliged to keep
only a small number Of sheep to get the best,
as they don't cost as much to keep and give
a better return Some of his neighbOrs are
beginning to see the sheep industry in the
same light and are improving their stock.
We trust that the same spirit will soon make
itself manifest among the farmers OF Cam
bIia county.
