JOSEPH HARRIS, MORETOK FARM, ROCHESTER, K. Y. 
17 
years this fall since I commenced to raise these sheep. I have used nothing but pure bred 
Mapleshade Cotswold rams in the flock from that day to this. The original owes were 
part Merino. And it is to this fact that I attribute the health, vigor and hardiness of these 
sheep. 
One word in regard to using these American Cotswold rams. All my customers, 
without exception, so far as I know, have found them all that could be desired. For 
crossing on common flocks, I believe nothing can be better. Of course breeders of pure 
registered Cotswold sheep do not want them. They should get a pure Maplcsliade Cots¬ 
wold. They cannot find better blood or cheaper sheep. I am greatly' overstocked, espec¬ 
ially for pasture, and am offering all my sheep for sale at very low rates. I do not expect 
to go out of the business, but I want to reduce my flock and will sell all the sheep that are 
ordered at these prices even if not a sheep is left—a result I do not expect or desire.
