that the product of the vegetation

became putrid from decay, after
having been thrown off for a Ger.

by the stock in sufficient quantities

BREEDS AND WooL.-In breeding sheep
there is something else to be attained in
the wool besides quantity, that something
being tineness or quality. All breeds Of
sheep are not alike in regard to the charac.
ter OF the wool. and the length, cleanliness
and degree Of tineness regulate the market
price. A fleece may be Of unusual weight
and yet bring but little in the market on
account OF poor condition, and many small
heeces have brought good sums in the mar
ket owing to their high quality. No sheep
can compete with the pure bred Merino in
hneness OF wool, although three-auarter
bloods have made good feeces. OF the
downs " the first in order for fine wool.
or rather medium wool, are the Soutb.
downs and the grades produced by them.
The Oxforddowns are next to the South.
down grades, and the Shropshiredown
grades follow next. As the downs +" are
mutton sheep, and are bred principally for
that purpose, the wool has been heretofore
secondary product; but they produce
liner woods than the long wooded or "comb.
ings" sheep, such as the Cotswolds or Lei.
cesters. The Cotswolds fleece lie Of create,
length, and, compared with that from the
Merlno, seems coarse but there is a Ger.
tam use for such heeces, and they command
certain markets, in which the feeces do
not compete. As to which are the most
profitable breeds, each farmer must regu.
late his choice of breed by climate and
quality OF pasture. Cotswolds will moi
give satisfaction unless under good care
and Merinos are rather small for mutton
The =" downs are better for farmers iusi
venturing on improvement.
