Tills lass of wools, represented, ns Mr. JlnyosMiyi, by tho Cheviot race of "hcop, Is al-o, J think, very well rep resented by tho common shecV of Oregon, and, on account of Us com parative unprolltablcucss, is (likothe 'leeces of tho Mexican or old stylo jf California Hhccp, tho wool of which is Mr. Jiayes's fourth class, or I'.irpet wools) a point to breed away rrom towards n lieuvier fleeco of noro valuable wood, by those who K'ck thu greatest piollts from .sheep i reeding. Placing tho glowing of very flue nerino wool, .such as the .Saxon, SI lcslau, and Australian, when bred In their puiity, as being too light of fleece to yield tho greatest Income, I assume the question 1 am consider ing to bo nan owed down to a choice between the heaviest-lleeeed faiui 'ies of tho merino and tho best wool hearing families of tho Kugllsh lomblug-wool bleeds and a Judicious 'rosslng of these two races. I nay tho comblng-wool breeds, because I think the history of breeding expor iinontH proves Mr. Hayes to be cor rect when ho bays" the production f such wooIh as a cross between u full-blooded merino and a full-blooded youth Down! would be impracti- al as a system in our ordinary ineth jds of sheep husbandry." Tho llrst cross between theso races Is general y very good, mid luw Ijooii found to 1 10 a profitable means of producing early lambs for city markets, but there Irt'a largo prooHJon of inferior tulmals that comes from a second and third cross. llcforo discussing the mode of best producing tluyo clothing would, fur which tho demand Is thu greatest, it would perhaps be best to examine tho conditions necessary to thu per manent production of the best comb ng wool, the kind of wool which bears the highest price In the great markets. Men who aro Just starting In wool growing in now countries are apt to think that tl0 question of food can not be an obstacle to their success when the whole country around them Is covered with grass.

My own Judgment is strongly in favor of the Leicester, not fco much on account of my limited jiersonal experience, as on account of thu fact that tho Lei cester is not only tho source of Im provement to all tho other long wooled breeds, but scorns to occupy tho samo places in tho improvement of coarso or combing-wooled sheep for tho last century, which the me rino has occupied relutivo to thu clothlng-wooled breeds, and my ex perience leads me to look to a twist- Ole combination of firne tiro tujirrlor bricks or races for liiiirorc)icnt In lu e and u ool yet (o lm muilr. 1 or der to decide which of theso kinds or wool is liest for any given avooI grower to give his attention to, it is necessny to take into consideration the condition under which thoy can bo best produced. All recorded ex perience on this point is thus con densed by Mr. Hayes: "Tho suc cessful production of combing wools is limited to populous districts whore thero is a demand for mutton and to countries where thero is an improv ed agriculture." He quotes tho President or the National Wool Growers' Association as saying- that "tho t'otswold and Leicester aro well adapted to prolltahto breeding for wool and mutton combined, in situations where the land is rich, not subject to drought, and adapted to root culture, and where good city markets are easily am.slbU," and lielng "great favorites with dairy farmer and grain growers who wish to keep but few sheep." Mr. Hayes observes : " It is somewhat surprising to ob serve, in view of the Imnortntif.t of ti... couiblair-wool uuiiiufdcUiruof HukIkuU how little coiuldomtlon umean to bo given to tho qualities or the mnuiti. tics of the Wool produced, tho attend tlon irf agriculturists being principally itlrvptod to tf futUulug oull(Is of ...v -.niunio. v lM,W.HWl 111 IV cnicass.
