ENGLISH SHEEP 25 



The face and legs are of a deep brown colour and the wool varies 

 from 50*5 to 56's in quality, and has a fair length of staple. 



The above sheep are suitable for poor, hilly country, where they 

 can, if necessary, be fed on mangels, etc., during the worst of the 

 winter months. 



SUFFOLK SHEEP. 



I have seen the above breed of English sheep exhibited at 

 several of our country and town Shows. They resemble very 

 much the Hampshire Down, and would be a sheep suitable for 

 the same class of country that I have mentioned as best suited for 

 the Hampshire Down. 



They are very prolific and are noted for the fine quality 

 of their mutton. The wool is a shade finer than that of the 

 Hampshire Down, the spinning quality being about 56*5 or 

 strong Comeback wool. The head of this sheep should be 

 without horns.
