WOOL AND MUTTON SHEEP.

An experienced sheep breeder says:
There is no breed in the world that
will excel the Southdown for mutton.
But when both wool and mutton are
desired, there is no breed that under
all conditions equals the Shropshire.
This is practically admitted in all
sheep-raising cbountries. l, The Shrop-
shire is of a size which when mature
sells for the highest price in mar
ket, and lambs at from four to six
months of age always fatten easily
and reach the desired weights sought
after in market nearer than other
breeds. 2. The Shropshire under varied
conditions will remain healthy more
readily than other breeds, but cannot
stand the hardships that grades of the
fine-wool breeds will. But there are
none of the purely English breeds
that will endure climatic change and
thrive under the hardship that the
Shropshire in his purity will, and the
high grades of the breed will. 8,
They produce a fleece averaging sew
en- to nine pounds, which is about rs
per cent heavier than the average Of
Southdowns, and above all middle
wool breeds average, except the Ok
ford. The fineness of their fleece and
length of staple is what buyers are
always looking for and are ready to
pay top prices for. I hope | have
not bruised the toes of those who
champion other breeds than the South
down or Shropshire. The mutton of
each being similar, sells in the mar
ket one for the other.
