Sheep Culture on the Cumberland
Plateau.

Rural Record.
j. H. G., in the Knoxville Republi>
can Chronicle, writes an excellent ar
ticle on "Sheep Husbandry," from
which we extract the following:
"No country in the world can COM
pete with East Tennessee in raising
sheep and growing wool, except Aus
tralia and South America, and these
are very far away from market. Eyen
Texas, with all her advantages, can't
raise sheep as we can in East Tennes-
see. The soil and climate there does
not suit them as we'll as ours. Their
soil is soft and their climate very
changeable, They frequently have
northers that are quite injurious to ami
NAL life. This winter it is calculated
that ten per cent. of the sheepin Texas
died from changeable and cold weather,
whereas they were not affected by
either in Tennessee.
an East Tennessee the soil is gray,
ely or rocky, which is the best for
sheep. The climate is mild and the
weather not more changeablo than any
other part of the United States.
The Cumberland plateau alone i:
capable disappearing millions of sheep,
besides feeding hundreds Of thousands
Of cattle. So our valleys and ridges
will feed large numbers Of sheep with,
out the pasturage for other animals be
ing at ali encroached upon,
"The duty on wool by the revised
tariff IS from two and half to twelve
cents per pound, according to quality
sufficient to protect our WOO. from com
petition with any foreign wool.
Gan Investment in sheep is the only
one we know Of that will pay itsel
back in one year.
"If sheep can be raised in Kentuck!
and Middle Tennessee proftably, a
they'do, where the lands cost from
twenty-five to a hundred or more dol
lars per acre, much more proftabl,
can they be raised in East Tennessee
where good sheep farms can be bough
at from two dollars and fifty cents t.
ten dollars per acre"
