How hc caine to be wortliy of that miiic, i am unable to account: excent in thcse deencrate times, when aman wishesto makea little more of his sheep than tliey will icaiivbcar, he lias a portraitUrawn.andlorth nitli it is scnt to the Editor of anasricultural paper, with the caption a Paular liucl; "brtd anaou-md'' &ic. The same diplay was made wlien Mr. Jcw m owced the celcbrated Don I'edro. Hc too fas Paular. So of course, the tivo sheep uiust be very ucarofktn. But whatare the facts in tfce case ? The sheep arc about as much alike as a ncgro aud a white nian, for they are bothof Adam's race, and these two ''ticks are both sheep. The fact in the case is that neither of the bucks have any pcculiar claim to this title, as vcan with the greatest ease be showu; but it will be sufiicient for my present purpose to Wv, that Jewett's Buck Fortunehas not He was raised fromanewepurchasedon Long Island by Mr. Becdle, for JudgeRich of this 'onri. She might or might not hare had tome Paular blood in lier, aud sired by a buck which I purchased of the Hon. Wm. Jarfis of Weathersfield this State; he was purchas ed when a l.imb eight years ago. It is well known that Mr. Jarvisimported5 kinds of merino sheep some 25 or 30 years since, and that one or these kinds was Paular. Mr. Jarvis has not kept the diflerent varieties separate and distinct, but mixed them toceth- er, and bred his full blood merinos in th"i3 style. After breeding many yearsin tliis mix d manner, I purchasea the sire of Jewett's Fortune. Luckily, itseems my buck turncd out to be pure Paular, or else his progeny uetter than he. (Juery! Mr. Kandall as serts that " a Paular without his ruflle would be like a tchilc Berkshire nobody would give credit to his pedigrce." By the ruffle is meant a huge dewlap, extendins from the jaw to the brisket. The sire of Fortune was icithout his rume. So much for thc titlo Paular in Mr, Jewett's Fortune. VOL. VIII. Relative to thc cdchraltd Don Pedro. I doubt whethcras much couldbe said fjvora ble to his claim. Before laking tip thc third point that I have particularly in view, I wish to notice some othcr statements, made by Mr. Randall in his communication in the Cujtivator, and one is relative to the eight of fleccc taken from ycar to ycar from the buck Fortune. As stated by Mr. Kandall it is as follows : Don Pedro. Fortune. lst year, Clbs. 7oz. 7lbs. 9oz. !d year, Dlbs. -Soz. 12lbs. 3d ycar, l2Ibs. 13Ibs. 4oz. 1th ycar, 14lbs. 5th ycar, 131bs. 1 nould atk ivhy the fourtb yearof r ortunc is a blank. Mr. Jewett sheared him the -1th year, from whom probably Mr. Kandall gets his mformation. Has tliere not becn time enougli for.Mr. Jewctt to inform Alr. Jianuall.' Or did he forgct it when he gave the wcight of Pcdro's llecce ? Or is there another reason more probablc still and tim is the increase ruus the wronc way to be published say miuus some 3 pounds and over. If there had been au increase as there ought to have been at this age we should not have foiiud a blauk for the fonrth clip. It may be said that he was sheared or 3 weekssooner than last year. Very wcll, how much must be allowcd for that .' A half pound or evcn a pound and then how docs it stand when added to ten pounds? gam it may bc said he was sheared soou af ter w ashing. Very well, just let us know how he was washeu, whethcr in tlie nver or m washtub, a modem style of washinc. Alr. itandall wntes "Ihat Mr. Jewctt states that the full blood yearlings of Forluucs get taking buck weathers and ewcs togclhcr will i avcr.ige bclwecn five and six pounds ofwash-1 edwool." I aak how Mr. Jewett kncw this. ' for he has not sheared any of hisownraising, . sired bv Fortune. To fiud the tnie criieri- on by which to judge, we must refer to the geiitlemeu who have sheared a flock sired byl-ortunc. 1 would hke to hear their tes- iimony. ltut t pass to tlic thml poiut. Alr. Kandall states in writing to the Editor of the "Ceutral Ncw-York Farnicr" "Ihadonthe ground (at the County Fair) a vearling buck and ewefrom tliejlock of our friend S. W. Jewett.of Vreybridge,Vermonthich I shear ed of well washed wool ifter all the Ioss of thcir journcy, thc buck 611)5. thc ewe olbs. l2oz." Aziin he wntes "Let say what hewill Jewett's sheep cannot lchcalcn." , Nou this statcmcut is in keepiiig with other statciuents made- These shi-cp were nnt probably on Jewett's prcmUcs a week, and ' formcr had succccdcd in gaining, to the dc this whatevcr time it misht have been was ' struction of the hopcs of VrelschofT; a con- whattime elapsed from his purchasc of them ' tiuuauce in thc sause rcgimcut with his rival, to the time ofshippinthcm for Mr. Kandall. j after his marriage with Christiiie, Kolofski They were puri.-li.ised of h.
