A QBOUP OF IMPORTED COTS"WOLD EWES. 



In the Weekly Farmer of December 5, and 

 in the Monthly Farmer for 18G9, page 45, we 

 gave a cut of sheep bred as CotswolJs by Mr. 

 Corliss of Haverhill, Mass., -who sold out in 

 1866. With that engraving as a type of the 

 Cotswold breed, we were not entirely satisfied. 

 The appearance of the head and of some other 

 parts of the animal indicated a cross, more or 



less remote, with the Leicester or other simi- 

 lar sheep. 



The cut which we give this week comes 

 nearer to our ideal of pure Cotswolds. It 

 represents some sheep imported from England 

 by Mr. Burdett Loomis, of Connecticut. As 

 is often the case with one's hands in a daguer- 

 reotype or photograph, the feet and legs.
