The farm-yard club of Jotham: . SOUTHDOWN RAM. there are luxuriant pastures and no winters. In harder cUmatesand with harder fare a different class of sheep is found to beprofitable. Throughout Scotland, and in Westmoreland, Lan-cashire, andNorthumbe r-land, the black-faced heathsheep abound ;in Wales a small, short, knottysheep; and onthe continent ofEurope the vari-ous small fine-woolled breedsare to be found.Among thesethe Spanish merino stands foremost, — a sheep which for cen-turies furnished the looms of Spain with the finest wool, andwhich have improved all the other breeds on the continentof Europe in-to which theirblood has beenintroduced, andhave given highvalue to theSaxonies andFrench especial-ly. These sheephave been large-ly introduced in-to America fromthe early part ofthe present cen-tury to the year 1811, and they have laid the foundation of allthe great flocks in the wool-growing sections of the country.To the American wool-grower they have been a mine of wealth..

John Lowell gives a marvellous account of their valuein his day, and the breeders of Vermont can tell a fabulous taleof their worth in ours. They are small consumers of food, large producers of wool, and easy producers of mutton.

They have been bred inVermont to a very great profit for the sake of their blood ; andthey have multiplied into the great profitable flocks of Ohio, Texas, and California. They stand foremost in the primarywork of the sheep, the production of wool ; and they stand nextto ihe foremost in the secondary work of the sheep, the produc-tion of mutton. If you would combine these two interests, the merino is thesheep which can best enable you to do it. There is a largequantity of mutton brought to market of a very high quality andgood flavor, w
