From the Leeds Mercury
Samual McCaughey of Coonong. Riverina,
n. A. W.. is the largest sheep farmer in the
world both as regards numbers and, what
is more important, quality. He Is the most
progressive sheep farmer Of the age, and
has brought his stock to great perfection.
He shears 1,250,OOO sheep this season. and
would have had more. but lost 10000 in
the drouth two years ago. but thought
nothing of It, as every year he has between
10000 and 10000 lambs. At Toorak and
Dunlop. his stations on the Darling river.
he shears 6U0.OOO sheep this year. He
bought them from his uncle, Sir Samuel
Wilson, and has developed them magnifi-
Gently. There is literally water, water.
everywhere what, with dams, tanks and
artesian wells: and all is fenced in and sub
100000 acres in ring fence. He has also
a fine property in Queensland on which he
is shearing 4Oo.0O0 sheep. His Coonong
station is only his stud farm. 1t is only
Al 900 acres in extent, and he has upon IL
1000 sheep of very high quality, from
which he sends annually large drafts to
improve the breed on his other properties.
Mr.. McCaughey is able to boast, as one
result OF long-continued efforts, that he has
increased the yield of each of his own sheep
yearly TO the extent CT one pound of clean
secured wool Now. even at the present
low range of prices, a pound of clean scour-
ed n,erino combing is not worth less than
10 pence. SO that 1T follows that this enter.
prising man has increased his wool returns
by upward of f1D0,00O Ter annum. These
victories of Mr.. McCaughey are not merely
no less but much more" renowned than
the sort of victories that are now being
gained on the northwest frontier of India.
1t was only fourteen years ago that the
owner of Coonong first became convinced of
Vermont nj
sheep. 1t was in 1888 that he purchased
about dozen of this bl eed of rams. which
had been imported into Sydney. So con-
WINGED was he that he had. as 1t were,
struck oil, that three years later he visited
the states and selected for himself 100 of
the finest rams in that state and the fol-
lowing year the flock was added to by
further Importation of 800 more. From
that time TO the present almost every year
has found Mr.. McCaughey importing more
o. these wonderful creatures.
