drop dnd as constantly protected from
the sun and rain by an impervious
blanket-has developed into Il sheep
nowhere equalled as a wool producer

suited In race with smaller bodies
and longer legs, active and reliant,
capable Of picking living In scanty
pastures and among rocks and bushes

special bred and special fed sheep OF
England and subject them 70 the same
neglect and want OF care that our com
mon sheep got. we shall raise only
