I certify that I have in. my flock, a Tunis, three quarter 
blooded ewe, in periect health, fat ; weighing 175 pounds, her 
fleece off, She was got by Judge Peters’s original ram Cara- 
meili, and is now rising nine years old; has never been sick 
or diseased in any way, and in 1808 weighed 192 pounds ; 
after shearing eight and three quarters pounds of washed 
wool. None of my sheep of this breed, except one who was 
injured by eating Laurel, were ever in the least subject to 
any complaint, usual with sheep; during the nine years that 
I have raised anaually irom 20 to 40 lambs of this breed: 
although in. my flock, I have ‘constantly had common sheep 
affected with the several diseases incident to that animal. 
I have this day examined the ewe first mentioned. She has 
not cast a tooth ; and has now eight teeth, as perfectly sound, 
and as well set in the gum, as a common sheep at four years 
old.* Signed, 
Tuomas Bones.

when its mouth is full. Very soon after all its teeth are perfect, the mouth 
begins to break. Most sheep begin to fail in the mouth at six years old;
