The following, In reference to the
Dorset Horned sheep was written by
MT. Chick OF Dorset, England, and
Chester County, Pa:
or the various breeds OF sheep In
Great Britain the Dorset Horn Is one
that deserves to be more known than
it is at present. As producers OF early.
fat lambs they outstrip all other
breeds; few. II any, are such prolific
breeders. Nh. Charles Horrell, near
Winchester, had Dorset Horn eve
that produced three living lambs on
the 27th of january, 1890; they were all
reured without milk beyond what the
mother supplied. and In the open field
with the rest of the flock. When these
three lambs were eleven weeks and
two days old, they were sold fut in
Winchester market for G7 Is. 3D., the
three lambs.
Many Instances Of four lambs at one
birth have been known. and even six
lambs has ocourred;.ln this case the
owe belonged to the writer. This eve
has previously produced three lambs
|, Mt birth for three consecutive years.
and on the 18th of December, 1864, she
produced five living aud one dead
, lambs. thus making total OF fiIteen
lambs In four years. Dorset Horn
ewes will take the ram at almost any
papt OF the year. provided they are

and In general way thIee crops OF

on II desired. As an instance OF early
maturity, twenty-five lambs were sold

Tho dums OF these lambs were UNI
= der eighteen months old at the time,
a and ut this present time some OF them
: are sucking two lambs each, although
: less than two years and four months
old now; thus by the time they are
two and a half years old they will
d have reared three lambs. Is not this
early maturity and proliflcacy? These
:. sheep are now In my flock. The NUT
/ ton OF Dorset Horns is not excelled
n by any breed OF sheep except the
Southdown. to which all other breed:
must give place for quality OF NUT
