Cucumbers are seldom used except

SAxONY SHEEP.

States.

States.
One of the most interesting chapters
in the history of sheep raising In the
United States comprises the period from
1920 to 1848, when the brilliant pros
poets Of the Saxony sheep and its fieeces
were utterly dashed to the ground by the
tariff of 1846 This industry may be
said to have been creature Of national
legislation from It's beginning, or at
least from 1928 to the fatal ending.
Spanish Merino sheep were brought In
at a time when the American people
were seeking entire independence from
the mother country In every line of
products used by the people. Previous
to this time the sheep of the country
were mongrel mixture Of breeds, whose
fleeces were only used in clothes for
working people. The finer grades of
clothing goods We're imported. The Span
ish Merino sheep widely accommodated
itself to the conditions afforded in this
country, the crosses giving fieeces that
very nearly approached the pure bred
i'll fineness and beauty. From 1902 to
1920 the Spanish Merinos became wide
ly disseminated, and to all outside ap-
pearances seemed capable of holding
their own against anything that might
dispute possession with them But the
Saxony's fleece was so fine, so beauti-
full, and the cloths were so excellent,
and broadcloth suits so aristocratic and
within tho reach of well to do people,
that no other sheep could satisfy the
people. To add to the popularity Of the
SaxoDy sheep the wool was worth from
81 to So. 80 per pound. The farmers
were captivated with such prices, and
not stopping to think about the increas-
ed weight of the Spanish Merino fieeces
and tho slight difference in the prices of
the two kinds of wool kept on buying
Saxony sheep at fancy prices.
1t was found when the crash came
that nearly all Spanish sheep had been
crossed with these exceedingly fine
wooled Saxons, and the constitution of
the flocks had been lessoned in vigor.
II was not difficult TO care for high
priced sheep, whose fleeces brought 81
or s. each, but when the bottom fell out
and values went down the fiocks went
to destruction.
In the meantime the Saxony sheep
had few friends in Washington coun-
ty, Pa, in contiguous parts of West
Virginia and ON the opposite side of the
