| The recent development in sheep
growing seems to be more in the direc-
| ton of mutton than wool. The inquiry
is chiefly for the mutton breeds. The
price of wool has unquestiOnably been

on for the benefit of American wool
growers; but this will not account for
the increased demand for mutton and
the measures adopted by sheepmen to
meet the demand.
