therefore, continue to have everything bli

Origin of the merino Sheep.

born very froquootly in pure Merino flocks;
and that all tbe anclebt author on slnep
gree that tbere were two very distinct beeeds
ot i beep already at a very early dale (long,
smooth and glossy wooled the one; abort
wooled and cripled tbe other); tbat most
likely tbe impurtatlor of tbe long wooled
sheep buve taken place at a very early date
into Spain, and finally tbat Crosse between
tbe English and Merino sheep of certain
type will give oBapring ol a yery soft, glossy
and long wool. I think alter all tins evi
