. Sheep breeding and wool growing in Virginia . owing to its breeding, which is tlie result of intel-ligent breeding by the working (not fancy) farmers of Hampshire, Berk-shire, and Wilkshire, by the farther infusion of selected Southdown bloodwith very black faces on the best of their native sheep, which had for manyyears more or less Southdown blood bred into them. I talce the following description of the Hampshire from the prefaceto the Hainpshire Down Flock Record, established 1890, written by its presi-dent, James Wood, Esq., of Mt. Kisco, N.Y.: — His head is ratlier large, with a Roman face; neck long and usuallywell set on; shoulders sloping; brisket deep, with abundant room for thevital organs; back straight, with a spring of rib going around the barrel;loin broad; quarters long and broad; hams round and he^avy; legs bonyand strong; and feet large and open, with a tough sole and crust. The face and legs are the blackest of any of the Down breeds. Grayfaces are avoided. The wool is of medium length and strong fibre. It is. 18 used for making cheviots, tweeds, and such business cloths, and commandsthe top prices. Flocks of breeding ewes average about seven pounds to thefleece. Mature rams weigh three hundred pounds, and ewes something overtwo hundred. Sheep husbandry cannot be carried on solely for wool, as was the casea few years ago with great profit, because the piice of wool has decreased somuch; but, with the larger breeds which mature their lambs at fifty daysold, dressing twenty-five pounds and clipping enough wool to nearly paytheir keep for a year, no branch of agriculture offers such a profitableinvestment, provided the farmer going into it knows about the care ofsheep, or is willing to begin slowly and learn his lessons by experience on asmall scale without great expense. The above refers to early lambs, to be killed before May. The winterlamb business requires more knowledge and experience than the commonerway of having lambs dropped in the sprin
