Why SOuthdOwnS.

The size, activity, and hardness of these
sheep especially fit them for short rough
pastures, on which they will thrive fairly.
where larger sheep would scarcely keep
alive. They do better on the great West
ern plains than other mutton sheep, as
they are more industrious in digging un-
der the snow for grass in winter, and
thrive the best of all breeds. West or East
on arid or rocky pastures. While thus
exposed they are less liable to disease
than any other breed, save the tough Me-
rino. and can be kept in large flocks.
The Southdown buck, crossed with COM
mon ewes, makes a great Improvement
in the offspring over their dams, and the
mutton finds much quicker sale at higher
prices than the common sorts. A first
cross by long g-wooled rams on lean grade
Merino ewes may be preferable. in order
to give more fat but it is best to
cross ewes thus produced with Southdown
rams to insure larger proportion OF
Juicy, savory flesh. Yet. on the larger
common ewes, and especially those tine
tured with long-wooled blood, the South
down male cross is decidedly superior.
The Southdown fleece is abundant, of
medium fineness, and preferable to any
other for certain kinds of goods. The
wool, therefore, sells quickly and at fair
prices; but while the wool contributes
largely to the profit. mutton is the great
thing with these sheep. Early lambs can
be more easily obtained from Southdown
ewes than from any other, and these
bring high prices from March to June.
Though more difficult and expensive to
produce such lambs at the North during
these months, at the South it may be
cheaply and easily done, and be source
of wealth to those who iudiciously breed
and rear them for Northern markets

THE LOST ARCTIC EXPLORER.
Letters OF Administration Granted ON the
Estate of Henry ID. Warren.
PHILADELPHIA, May 12.-Ths register
of wills to-day granted letters of admins
tration on the estate of Henry D. Warren,
one of the lost seamen of the Arctic
steamer Jeannette, to Mrs. Burdett,
mother of deceased The register had
taken testimony to. obtain legal proof
of the death of Warren, and after
reviewing the testimony of Chief Engineer
Melville, in which it is stated that the
supposed dead man was member of
Lieutenant Chips boat, which was
last ON the coast Of Siberia, the
register says that ''the last that
was seen of Warren and his comrades was
at time OF extreme peril and with scarce
ly possibility of being saved, and the
probability of the loss at that time is
strengthened by the time which has since
elapsed without any t:dings and by the
fruitless result of the subsequent search
for either the boat Or for Lieutenant
Chipps' company"
The register concludes that from the
testimony the natural presumption Is that
the death OF Warren occurred on the 18th
of September, 1881. and the letters Of
administration arc therefore granted to
the applicant.
