health John Huds on, of New Ka1nilche
is DESTROYS of disposing of his herd of

the original animals apd. now has a
well bred herd of about thirty-fye.
They are sheared at least once year,
and yield a clip of fine long wool
weighing five or six pounds. They are
more hardy than sheep and dogs don't
bother them. Although the price for
wool is low under the present tariff
the animals are generally quite profit

to purchase a pair for a beginning.
