DORSET HORNED SHEEP. 407 



districts of Devon or Cornwall where grass production in mid- 

 winter progresses under such happy circumstances that the 

 natural condition of things appears extremely favourable 

 to the adoption of the breed of sheep that will yield earliest 

 lamb. Probably now that the grazing and fattening capabilities 

 of these sheep have been so much improved, they will be more 

 eagerly sought for.
