EXPORTING the ME3iNOs.

E. n Bissell of Shoreham, who has gained
a wide reputation a. n dealer ana Dree ler OF
the fine merlno sheep, was in the city " eds
he day.
To reporter of the FRYE PRESS he snil
that carioal of merlnos WAS shipped from
the Shoreham station to western New Gork
on Monday. Mr. Bissell has been shipping
fine sheep to Australia for the past nine
years and it is through this he being one OF
the most successful exporters, that he has
gained his fame as sheep hUahandman.
Mr. Bissel's son started with a shipment
Of 05 head last October, and he was due to
arrive in Sidney, n. S. W., on the l0th inst.
1t requires a great deal of patience in this
business. Every shipment has to be made
via London, where they stay in quarantine
two weeks, ami then, ii found all right, go
ON to Australia. Alter arriving at Sydney
they are obliged to go through a three
months quarantine, at the end of which
time. providing the sheep are free from lis
ease, they can lie sold, but it takes another
three months to get the mernos in condi-
ton for the market.
There are sales days generally on July IL
ana NueD u great nuEIDer OF Sneep are
sold, both native and American Mr.. Bis
| sell said that he lost money on his consi 8n-
ment of 90 head last year but the outlook
this year is more favorable. There was ar
over supply Of rams, the Australian WOOL
| buyers told the people that they could not
pay within Two or four cents as much pcr
pound for wool because OF the Mckinley
! bill, strike of the shearers and dissolu-
ton of Parliament, and general election
all of which affected the market there last
season, making ii very unfavorable year
The seasons of the year are directly oppo
site ours and Mr.. Bisseli passed through
three winters and two summers in making
the round trip, which consumes nearly
year. The Hooks in Australia vary all tht
way from 70, 900 to 200, 900, head anl
the former is called small. The American
sheep are made valuable because whei
crossed with the native sheep, it produces
finer aud heavier fleece
In answering the question how he like
Australia, Mr.. Bisscll said that there were
some things that he liked and some that h
didn like. "If the Farme 5 alliance lead
ers Of thi. country said the genial farmer
could see the railroads run BY the govern
ment there, they would never advocate tina
idea any more "
