SPANISH MERINO SHEEP.— Convinced of the 

 advantages of fine-wool growing over any other 

 branch of husbandry in Virginia, I keep a flock 

 commonly of about 1000 Merino sheep. After 

 much care and judicious selection I have succeeded 

 in raising my flock to an uniform and high standard 

 of excellence. My sheep, for thrift, form, purity 

 of blood and fineness and weight of fleece, will 

 compare favorably with any flock in the United 

 States. I have an agent, an experienced wool- 

 grower in New York, an excellent judge of fine 

 wool and sheep, and acquainted with all the best 

 flocks in the country, who every year buys for me 

 a lot of the best bucks and ewes to be found in the 

 North. This annual addition enables me to pre- 

 serve the purity and excellence of my flock without 

 practising the fatal error of "breeding-in-and-in." 

 The large increase from my ewes give me annually 

 a sarplus of over 1000 for sale. Persons wishing 

 to get the best stock of this description are invited 

 to examine my flock. They can be supplied here 

 as cheaply as stock of the same character can be 

 brought from the North, and with a certainty 6f 

 getting them in thrifty condition and free from all 

 disease. S. S. BRADFORD.
