The Wool Markets, 
“THE PRACTICAL SHEPHERD.’’ 
The Provision Markets. 
[From the Rochester Daily Express.] 
We have received from the Publisher a copy of the above 
work, which la destines) to become the standard authority 
on Sheep Husbandry in this country. It is a large duodeci¬ 
mo volume of more ibau four hundred aud fifty pages, 
comprising a greater amount of valuable and practical iu- 
Jonnation on the subjects Of which it treats, than auy aitni- 
*ar work ever published in till* country. Ur liaudull Is 
qulto well known n* a writer, and lie has taken especi d in¬ 
terest in, and made himself thoroughly and practically ac¬ 
quainted with tin.' subject be has heio chosen. The breed¬ 
ing and management of sheep i* just now a topic of more 
importance than ever, 11 * the high price of wool, both pres¬ 
ent and prospective, will make Sheep Husbandry au Impor¬ 
tant. feature iu American agriculture for many years TO 
cornu. Wo can safely predict that the publication of Dr. 
Run .all's work sill add hundreds of thousands if not mil¬ 
lion* of ihd'ars to tiic wealth oft.be country, by the practi¬ 
cal information it will diffuse concerning the breeding and 
management, of stump. It Is just as Practicable to breed 
shoe]', so that they will average 1 ; s, sight and nine pounds 
of wool per fleece, 11 c to deteriorate thorn to an average or 
three or four. Great change* have already been made by 
careful selections in breeding, and In management, and yet 
the country is but just finding out what can arid will be 
done in this direction within the next twenty-five years 
The progress in “mutton breeds" of sheep, i* equally im¬ 
portant, and "The Practical Shepherd” ably discusses 
both. 
The high price of wool will undoubtedly stimulate tint 
keeping of huge herds of sloop on the cheap and fortli* 
lauds 01 ibo West, and 01 otherwise unproductive, steep 
mid rooky hill-aides which abound in some place* In tula 
State. To all embarking in these enterprise* " The i’lrw'ti- 
e.il Shepherd" will be invaluable, while the Information 
contained ia it i» such that no man owning or tending a 
Hock of a dozen wlirep can afford to bo without it Copm* 
can be had by sending to Mr. D. I). T. Moore, in this oily

[From tha RocbisterlDuily Union aud Advertiser,] 
Sometime since the announcement was made in our 
columns that the Hon. Henry S. Randall a/id I). D. T. 
Moore, Esq , of the Rural New-Yorker liad concluded an 
arrangement for the publication o ! a volume upon Sheep 
Husbandry, which wn* to tie the tnn&tcmnpli'te work upon 
lira topics di.-muraed ever issued in tin* country The labor 
bus been accomplished, and the book 1* now before us. 
Mult* a number of year* have elapsed sine* the publica¬ 
tion of any lUin.; that could bn designated a* a complete 
treatim: on tlm breeding, management and diseases 01

ject* hnv* become * 0 nutiqnited na to bo curapniativOiV 
worthle.i:. for ttie reason luat a great change-almost aii 
entire revolution—ha* token pine* ; T i the Character of 
American sheep, and in the system* of American ..ueop 
huiJmndry, jn-easos hitherto unknowu among our flocks 
liiivn appeared, aut concerfoagwhich no other A merican 
work make* mention, and Mr. Randal I, reasoning from the 
aualogieHderivable- rrorn th« hlstmy ot qiao<-><a in other

the pymptetti* and treatment of all tire 1 ntlivdles unknown 
in this country which have thus far l.u-i'U recognized in 
Europe. 
The object of the author cannot be mure fully elucidated 
than by quoting the lirat paragraph fiyua his preface, a* 
followsAn attempt hv« been mud- iu the following 
Pages t-i give an impart'a I hlntury of all the most valuable 
varieties aqd families ot sheep in tha United Suites,—to 
explain til* principle* of Ureetling on which their Improve¬ 
ment rests, and to describe tlrair proper treatment iu health 
and si .r.rie-s, under the dill:rent climatic and other olrcnm- 
Ktiiire- to which thc-f are uecesxarily subjected in a coun¬ 
try a* extensive a* our own * Tak'ng position upon thia 
platform, with store* of information drawn from tbe ex 
{leniences of nearly half a century, and with au almost uti

could be no -inch word as fid!, 
W* prooonucd tbe work ao entire success in nl> its parts 
—the text, illustrations, paper, typography, binding, etc. 
After a critical examination of all lh« features requisite to 
the “getting-up" of a v.iluab’e and handsome book, we 
cannot conceive of a single reason for seek ng at tb» great 
publishing center* for the esseutiai* of nupenor workman¬

The Practical '-bepherd is gold only by 'invne-ing 4jrent« 
and by the publisher, [aa will lie seen by referenca to adver¬ 
tisement ) Five thousand copies have' already been print¬ 
ed, aud the second five thousand are now in pres*. The 
publisher finds it impossible to obtain a supply HOlllcieut to 
meet the present demand, bat hopes to be able to prompt¬ 
ly (ill all orders iu few day*.
