MEXICAN SHEEP.

/. Iowa City, March 25.-This year a
new experiment has been tried by the
farmers in the vicinity of Iowa City.
Several of them have shipped in what
is called the Mexican sheep, and have
had them on feed during the winter
months. The sheep that are usually
fed in Iowa are taken off the ranches
lin Montana, Idaho and other north
western states #Rs
These western sheep, after three
or six months feed, make a substan-
|tial gain and give a fair return for the
money and time invested But the
Mexican sheep have one great advarit-
age over these Mesterners which en-
|ables them to make for their owners
la vastly greater profit.
The yearling Mexicatls can be ship
ped in here, put on a six months feed
and, being shipped into Chicago. will
sell for lamb. The reason for this is
that the Mexican sheep is the most
|delicately built OF all the sheep family
Its bones are very small and finely
formed, and the flesh very tender. On
the careful feed Of corn, crushed cobs
and oat straw which has been tried
here during the last season, the sheep
have made satisfactory gains and the
feeders have been well pleased with the
result Of their work.
