erS. stated in substance that the best
sheep for the range. all things cOnsid-
cred, was one not far away from the
merino in It's essential characteristics.
But he favored a merinO form with
better mutton qualities than those pos
sessed by the straight American me-
rino, says the Farmer. In his opinion
the work OF crossing and grading has
not been specific enough in the past,
and 1t has not accomplished all that
should be expected from It. There
had been too little of method about it
and too much Of pure experiment
This accords precisely with what we
have been advocating for some time
viz. that the time has come for intro
ducing breed of sheep on the ranges
adapted to range conditions. This
breed must OF course be evolved, and
from the abundant materials now
found on the ranges. Years ago we
settled down to the conviction, soon
after first visiting the range country,
and 1t is but strengthened with the
passing Of the years. This everlasting
crossing back and forth ought to stop.
