SHEEP HUSBANDRY. 



The carcass of the improved South-down, fatted, may be put down 

 at eighteen to tvvent3^-five pounds the quarter. Mr. Mclntire killed, 

 as before stated, a cross-breed Cotswold and South-down wether last 

 year, that weighed, dressed, with the head on, two hundred and ten 

 pounds. He sold one very recently that weighed about one hundred 

 and seventy-five pounds. Mr. Bement's price for fourteen — all he 

 has for sale — South-down ewes, a year old this spring, which have 

 not been tupped, is twelve dollars a head ; and a buck to accompany 

 them at the same price. Mr. Mclntire's price for ten ewes that will 

 have lambs in April, is seventeen dollars a head, and will put in a 

 good buck at same price. This statement is made for the benefit of 

 readers not residing in the neighbourhood of flocks of sheep of this 

 kind. The demand for all kinds of improved sheep is increasing. 

 and will increase in the south-west.
