SHROPSHIRE and Hampshire downs are found
TO cross kindly on the common sheep of the
country, and may be herded in considerable
hocks. The mutton Is nice, the faeeees are
valuable, and the grades hardy and good for
ayers.
The sheep yearly slaughtered in the United
states are recorded at l2,W0.0 COO. They furnish
the principal source from which tile pulled
wool OF the country is secured. the addition
being sheep dying from accident. dogs. and
natural causes.
3, II usual practice is to shear sheen in ,June
after the weather becomes warm, but the cps-
ON Is growing to shear about April |, in order
to give us much time as possible for the fleece
To grew before the fairs. Unless such focks
are provided with warm, dry quarters :bs
early shearipS is risky, az diseases are often
the result.
H statement Of an alleged authority that
sheep do best on calcareous soils may be taken
as true, because generally known to be so II
soil condition is right. But that they do worst,

rocks may be taken with u grain of salt. Flint
