Mutton Breeds and Merinos Compared

Mutton Breeds and Merinos Compared
Prof. W.. A. Henry: The Merino
sheep is peculiarly a wool bearer, and
nearly all lines descended from the
Spanish stock have been selected with
that single end in view. The story of
the Spanish Merino in its home coun-
try forms one Of the most interesting
chapters extant in the history of live
stock. In their pilgrimage from South
to Central Spain each spring and their
return in the fall, the Spanish aocks
make annual journeys covering In all
about 1000 miles. Only the strongest
and most rugged animals survive the
long, fatiguing and perilous marches.
The ability to exist in enormous
flocks, to range over vast territory,
and to subsist upon scant food, are the
leading Of the many remarkable quail
ties wrought by stern fate into the
very fiber and constitution OF the
Merino sheep. Z !. :>. II. @. &
: Almost opposite in some respects are
the English mutton breeds Of sheep,
which have been reared in small docks
confined to limited pastures, the best
specimens being saved and nurtured
by kindly hands with intelligent at
tention to all their wants. They have
been sheltered from storms and given
roughage and grain from barn and
stack, whenever the fields were scant
Of heritage or the weather severe. In
general, the life Of the English mutton
sheep has been one Of plenty almost
to surfeit and quiet contentment. In
this country we cannot hope to attain
the wonderful success reached by
British sheep-owners unless we follow
closely or improve upon their methods.
The rules and practices prevalent in
this country IN handling Mertno sheep
will prove satisfactory With the NUT
ton breeds, and the feeder, "a the very
inception Of his flock szpsrienee,
/ should duly consider the habit and
ehaIacter1stics @ & the animals 10 q

articles of wearing apparel that
man can cali hts own. His hat,

The mearest man heard of Is a

Is dental one. He goes to a

half the price of the plate. and fails

these dumb little brutes on boa I'd
of steamers for two and three DAYS

should take the matter In hand,
and either stop the shipment OF
them to long distances, or see that
they are given proper attention by
shippers. The practice has been
tolerated too lone.
