the peculiar property of the Spauifli wool, viz. 

 the finenefs of the pile, and the abundance of yolk 

 contained in it, which keeps the wool moid to the 

 points, feems to be communicated in a much greater 

 degree to the horned fheep than to the polled flieep: 

 the wool of the latter not appearing to be mended 

 above one-third, whereas that of the former is at 

 lead one-half better: perhaps as the Spanifla rams 

 are horned, and partake much of the properties of 

 the old Dorfetfliire flieep, the crofs may be more con- 

 genial than with polled flieep. 



June^, 1795. THOMAS DAVIS. 



N. B. Spanifh wool abounding fo much with yolk, fhould 

 not be wafhi el on the flieeps backs; it hurts the fheep, and 

 after all, the wool cannot be got clean with cold water. It 

 is (horn in Spain before wafliing.
