Where the sheep have to range a ,gt)od dial, and there is bowvsilg andle eliming to seek for hmrhage, a pure South Down ram would be prefera ble to any other, as that breed is de ciidedly the most active of the anut tu breeds, and will prosper wherei the heaviuer bededs woutl do no good unless they had some feed given theml daily. The breed of sheep for any man to geto is the one best adapted for the pasturie andi for tile treatile it to which they will be subjected. And whatever breed may be setlected, it will pay to feed them well whenever the season is sulliciently advanced to require it ; ad howeve r. hardy the iowns may be, 'and however littlen extra feeding they may subsist on, still it is the fact that it will pay to fced them liberally, as there are thlree soulces of increased profit arising from the single cost of grtlin, oilcake, or lwhatever is given, viz., mole ,nit ton, lthe wooli alnd better ulalnire. laiil kInows the mutton and wool, from well-fed, ripe sheep, bringi more per pound, so that to rhe increased quantity of meat and wool there Should be added Ihe prlait of a cent or two per pound ton the whle car cass, because lime IIl (t always eCinll - mauls a greater price per pound, while the wool is also of better quali ty ilt proportion to the condition of thle sheep. Then again, as a acddi tional inducement to feed liberally with stitimulating foolt , it should be borne in mind that much less hay is eaten in winter if other food is used. tMany people, however, :ae so eare less in thought as to charge the whole cost of grain, meal or oil eake, mak.i - iiu no allonwaeitt ttie hay saved ad tr tee rtichmner mastn ure. t Not anlt.i aLte the aboIle advanta iges gained by god ftedig, but I threi is still another result of gaent imior tace which folllos the s high feeding tof young stck.
