TO WOOL-GROWERS AND BREEDERS OF FINE 
SHEEP- 
REV. L. G. BINGHAM, of Williston, Vt., during the past sea¬ 
son ha- purchased from A. Taintor, Esq., of Hartford, Connecti¬ 
cut, eight of his imported Merino ewes—one buck lamb, and his 
splendid stock buck—the sire of the very superior lambs which 
have been sold from his flock the past season. This buck was 
brought from France, when a lamb ; was one year old last Janu¬ 
ary—was sheared the 10th of August, last year, soon after arriv¬ 
ing—and was sheared on the same day of the month this year— 
having worn his fleece one year to a day—was clean washed 
three days before shearing, and his fleece weighed fourteen lbs., 
of fine wool. His stock proves to be of rare excellence, and his 
lambs by the imported ewes, have sold from $100 to $200 
each. Having often been applied to, to put him to American 
Merino ewes, I have concluded to do so to a limited extent. The 
price will be $5 a head, to he paid on taking away the ewes. Ap¬ 
plications must be mc.de early. I have rented the farm and all 
the stock of Rev. L. G. Bingham, and all communications must 
be addres-ed to me at this place, Williston, Vt. The buck Iamb 
herein mentioned is from one of the best of the imported ewes 
and will make a magnificent sheep. The next crop ol buck lambs 
will also be for sale. First come—first served. 
When it is considered that all the buck lambs from this buck 
have sold for $100 and upwards, the price charged must be re¬ 
garded as vefy reasonable. B. F. BINGHAM.
