American Merinos.
American Agriculturist.


When the first prizes for 1nerino sheep were
awarded to American merines, at the Interna-
tional Exposition, at Hamburg, about twenty
years ago, all Europe was astonshed. The
Yankee sheep took the prizes over the best ftocks
of Europe, and they could not understand it.
After the first surprise was over, the European
sheep growers, at the close of the exhibition.
did the best possible thing-they purchased the
American merinos, or Vermont merinos, as they
were generally called, for the Improvement of
their own fiocks at what was then an unusual
price. The American merinos are the result of
several importatons, made early in the present
century from Spain and included animals from
the Paular lnfantado Negretti and other cele-
brated hoeks, regarded the finest in Spain.
Of these early importatons some We're lost
sight of, or run out" through care
less breeding. Others We're bred
with great care, and by crossing with
other pure focks, under our climate, and with
no doubt better feeding, they gradually devel-
oped, perhaps unintentionally on the part of the
breeders, into q distinct family of mePinoS
known as American. The superiority of the
American over the best European families of
merinos is shown in the first place in its greater
size and weight. While the rams of the most
noted of the Spanish flocks range from go to 100
pounds-the last weight rarely reached-the
American rams run to 120 pounds and upward
to $50 pounds These large weights are accom-
panied by shorter neck and legs an increased
width of loin, and what is more important, a
great increase in the weight of the fleece. Some
wool, and individual rams have greatly ex-
ceeded this weight. The American merino
is marked by strong folds and wrinkles, and
some foeks have been bred with a view to
these. 1t is common impression sthat ex
cessive wrinkles indicate purity of breed and
fneness of wool, and breeders have en-
deavored to meet the prevailing taste for
heavily wlinked sheep. Those who look to the
best returns in wool do not approve of excessive
wrinkles, as they increase the difficulty and the
cost of shearing. Breeders differ to the amount
of yolk desirable in the wool, and this is some
times excessive. Fashion has much to do with
both yolk and wrinkles; the present tendency is
to reduce the amount of both. The American
merinos have been found to be superior to any
of the European merinos for improving the
focks of Australia. few months ago an Aus
tralian flock master who called upon us said that
the sole object Of his visit to this country was
to purchase American mefino rams. He at
tIibuted the great improvement which has lately
been manifested in Australian sheep to the in
PRODUCTION Of American merinos. We notice
that English agricultural writers speak of the
improvement in Australian sheep by the intro
duetion of merino rams but they fail to state
that it is due to American rams. In sheep
raising, as in many other branches of agrieul
ture Australians and New Zealanders look to
America for aid and improvement rather than
to the mother country.

Model Missionaries.

Hartford Times.

A traveller who has recently returned from the
Sandwich Islands, says that he saw in Homo
lulu long, handsome street of elegant houses,
showing evidence of much ease and luxury
These are the homes of missionaries. A signif-
cant contrast to the miserable tenement houses
of the poor at home. The Traveller also saw the
wives Of some Of those missionaries reclining in
sedan chairs carried by heather natives, whom
the ladies spurred on to greater speed by poking
their parasol handles into their naked backs.
When will people learn to give their money
where it is most needed-at home, among the
poor who swarm in vile places.

Mr.. Blaine is not Catholic, though his having
been a or grandson of Catholic is quite
enough to justify the Orangemen of Pittsburg
in opposing him. This is America; not Ireland.
We want no European old country factions
over here. If Mr.. Blaine be the best man nomi-
mated, let him have the position, whether he be
Catholic or Protestant. In Europe religions
faith is matter Of government. In this country
we have no religion for political uses. One sect
is as another sect. We are all children of one
