They Were Quite Popular Not So Yer,

From time inimemorial black sheep
have existed throughout the world.

count whatever of any pure-blood
black sheep having been bred and
raised in any country. Among the
many puro-bred fiocks OF white sheep
now in existence none are SO pure but

About the year 1913 or 1850 we have
some history of black sheep being bred
and raised in the eastern states They
were valued in some localities among
the early settlers. inasmuch as their
wool required no dyeing when made
into cloth. During the years from 1855
to 1865 we know. from personal obser-
walton, that in central Indiana there
were many fiocks of black sheep bred
and raised. They bred pure black. il be-
ing very seldom that a white lamb was
seen among the black hocks- Many
families. even at that late day. spun
and wove their own cloth. The black
wool was considered stronger and
more durable than the white WOOL
We have seen these Hocks OF black
sheep in all their purity. and have
helped 10 shear them. In size they
were fully up TO the average of the
common sheep at that day. They
sheared from four TO six pounds OF
wool, which was very good average
at that time. But of late year, black
wool has declined IN price. since dye.
