7IERIXO SHEEP.
Their origin and progress in different Countries.
At the pn scnt moment, when the leading to
pic of every agricultural discussion refers either
to the present depressed state of the Bnush;
wool trade, or to the interested and conflicting;
testimony of the manufacturers who were ex
amined before the Lords’Committee ; and when,!
moreover, we find the popular but erroneous o
piuious industriously disseminated, that the.
Southdown sheep are incapable ol producing a
fleece of sufficient fineness for all the purposes j
of manufacture—opinions, by the by, whicnj
Air. Trimmer, in some judicious remarks upon
the subject lately published, has ably controvert- (
cd in the advantages obtained by crossing koutii- [
downs with pure Merinos of high blood ; at
the present moment, we say, it may not be deem
ed an uninteresting occupation ol our columns
to detail a few curious particulars, not general
ly known, as to the origin and progress ot Me
rino sheep in different countries.
As an illustration of what great even's spring
from little causes, it is not more than sixty years
ago that the sheep of Spain were transferred
from their native pasturage to a Saxon soil, and
yet, in almost that short period, to what a su
periority lias the wool of Saxony attained, even
surpassing that of boasted Spain. In the year j
17C5, the (then) Elector of Saxony received j
from Spain 105 rams and 116 ewes, selected j
under peculiarly favorable circumstances, and
with particular care, from the Escuriul, Infanta
do, and Guaduloupe flocks ; and again, id 1778,
92 (two-ycars-old) ewes, with two lambs, and
one old ram. This is the foundation ot the pre
sent breed of Saxon fine-fleeced sheep, which,
in quality and weight of their fiee*oo, in size ol
tiieir carcass, and in a greater capability of be
ing fattened, now greatly surpass their origin.
They were at first kept apart, on a domain of j
the Crown, and, though in the beginning were]
more than once in danger of being totally de-i
stroyed by fatal diseases, they have increased
so as to be at present found of pure blood, on
18 domains and about 7W noblemen’s estates in
and about Saxony—7,ooo rams and 4,000 ewes)
having been successively sold in the course ol
the first forty years from the royal original
flocks, which sales are still annually continued.
Besides the flocks here alluded to, which are al
leged to be of pure blood, there are many which,
though confessedly obtained by cross-breeding,
are at present not the less thorough.bred, and
some of them are not only esteemed equal to the
royal flocks, but obtain even higher prices for
their wools.
Anhalt, divided into three principalities (Des
sau, Cothen, and Beremburg,) and Silesia, rank
next to Saxony in respect to the fineness of the
wool of their flocks* Mr. Tiuko, of Cosity,
near Cothen, formed a flock consisting entirely
of sheep from the Saxon flock at Stolpc, as ear
ly' ns 1708 ; and in Silesia likewise, very early
efforts were made by Count Magries, of Eczern
dorfi nnd others, for the improvement of the na
tive breed, which, in both countries, but more)
especially in Anhalt have been attended with j
complete success. Earless has been the sue- 1
cess in other parts of Germany, though there is |
scarcely one German State, the Governments or
private individuals of which have not imported
Spanish Merinos to improve the native race.
One of the witnesses before the Lords’ commit
tee was asked in what manner Merino sheep
were first introduced into Germany, and when 1
His reply was, that they were first introduced
so far back as the year 1775, (the subsequent
particulars record a much earlier period ;) but
the manufacturers of this country, he said, were
not aware of the progress they were making in i
that country in the growth of wool.
Frederick 11. (the Great) of Prussia was the'
first who, among other projects for advancing
agriculture in his States, thought of introducing
the Spanish Merinos in Germany. He import
ed the first as early as 1748, which, at different
periods, were followed by small supplies of rams,
until 1785, when he at one time received as ma
ny as 20(J ewes and 100 rains. They were
chiefly kept at Stansdorf, near Berlin : bur,
whether from disease or mismanagement, or j
what other cause, there is at this time hardly a)
trace left of them, in 1802, again, 800 Span-'
ish ewes and 400 rams were imported for the
account of several Prussian noblemen, who, on
the invitation of President Von Winke, had as
sociated together for that purpose ; but, except!
on the estates of Prince Lichnowsky, in Silesia, 1
who obtained 80 ewes and 30 rains of them ; (
on Count Haugwitz’s estate, Regan, likewise in j
Silesia; and on Prillwitz, in Pomerania, an es-;
tate of Mr. Von Borgstedes; even this large
importation was attended with but little partial
success, and does not appear to have had any
traceable influence on the improvement of the
Prussian flock in general. Hincc 1808, how
ever, when the prohibition of the exportation of
wool from Prussia was repealed, the flock own
ers received a new impulse, not only to increase,
but improve their flocks; and since then the im
provement m the Prussian breed of sheep has)
certainly proceeded with astonishing rapidity,)
(especially during the last ten years,) chiefly by
purchases made from Saxon flocks ; and also
by means of about 5000 rams and ewes of pure
blood which the government imported. These,
latter have been bought in France, (while the
Allied army of-Occupation was in tlmt country,)
from the flocks of Rambouillet, Malmaison,
Fertc, Chauteloup (Mr. ChaptaPs estate.) and
from those of Murat at Trappe, of Marshal
Moncey, and of several others ; and they are at
present kept apart on three estates of the Crown.
In Austria, likewise, 300 Spanish Merinos
(the origin of the flock at Marcopoil,) were im-j
ported as earl)' as 1775, by Maria Theresa;),
the following year, a few more by Count Hauuitz,
for his estates in Moravia ; and in 1784, a very
considerable number by Joseph 11. In 180‘i,
the Government imported 1,500 ewes and 500
rams from Spain, from which the Imperial flock
at Maunesdorf was formed ; and soon after-1
wards, at the instance of the Princes Lichten- \
stein, Esterhazy, and several other noblemen, j
several thousand head more, Mr. Pet re, ofi
Theresieufeld, having been sent to Spain for the
express purpose. Many more are annually im- 1
ported from Saxony, and sometimes also from
the Merino flocks of pure blood in France.
But, though (considering the extent of the Aus
trian States, and the numerous and very large
flocks they contain, amounting together to about
15,000,000 of sheep !) it cannot be denied that!
those importations have, to a certain and consi
derable degree answered their purpose ; yeti
there are at present only two flocks, (Prince \
Lichnowsky’s aud Count Larishe’s,) and those
two both in Austrian Silesia, that are at all equal
to the thorough-bred Saxon flocks.
As for Bavaria, Wurtemburg, and Baden,
they are even behind Austria ; for tough in
i 1789 the Margrave of Anspach imported 122
Spanish rams and ewes; in 1786 the (then)
|}Dukc of Wurtemberg 140 rams ; and about the
;!same time the (then) Margrave ot Baden 46
I rams and 38 ewes from Spain, and 74 ewes from
i; Rousillion ; yet the wool in those parts’of Ger
jmanv still remains so harsh as to be near!) ex
cluded from the English market.
Mow the success of Saxony, and the failure
(comparatively speaking,) of the other German
l.Stat"S, though it may in part, no doubt truly,
be ascribed to the influence of pasture and dim
||atc. is, by all who have investigated the subject
inure closely, generally traced to this as the
’fundamental cure—namely, that the original
iiroyal Saxon flock at Stulpe (from which an im
provement in the Saxon breed ot sheep has been]
|derived) was selected fiom the bust Spanish
| flocks with equal judgment and success; while
those imported to other parts ot Germany, part-i
j ly direct from Spain and partly (us has been)
(seen) from the Merino flocks of pure blood in j
France, have been indiscriminately (as one is i
' inmost instances justified insaying) brought to-j
: "ether from various, in character widely dilfor
! eat, flocks, and without sufficient care andjudg-j
i meat in the selection ; by which the object ot
these importations has in all cases been greatly)
retarded, and but Imperfectly attained, while in ;
some it lias been completely defeated.
In France, M. de Trudaine introduced the)
; Merino breed of sheep in 1776 ; and in Eng-j
! land, as is well known, they were first introdu-j
| ced in 1788, when his late Majesty procured a,
! small flock byway of Portugal; in 1791, ano-j
tlier flock was imported from Spain ; and in
1804, when his late Majesty’s annual sales com-j
inonced, this race began to attract much notice.:
The late Dr. Parry, of Bath, used to cross the
Rye land, or Herefordshire, sheep with the
• Merinos, by w hich means he succeeded in bring-j
ing the wool of the fourth generation to a degree;
of fineness not excelled by that of the pure Me-1
■ rino itself, while the carcass, in which is the
| great defect of the Merinos, was much improved.
! As aij interesting conclusion to this article,
' we may add, that, till within the last 7 years,
enormous prices were frequently paid for prime
rams and ewes of a pure breed. The King ot
Westphalia paid Count Schonburg about £l3O
i for a capital ewe. At a sale on Prince Charles
Schwartzenbcrg’s estate, (Worlick, in Bohe
mia) in the year 1818, 7 rams, fetched £I3OB,
two more he sold to his brother Joseph for £7OO
and £SOO each, and one to Count Haugwitz,
ofNameist, for £4OO. At a sale in Uollitsch,
an state of the Emperor of Austria, a ram fetch
ed £l3O. Prince Lichkowsky, and even Count
Magries (of Eckhendorf,) though his flock,
which consists of 11.000 sheep, is very une
qual, always got from 30 to £SO for a ram ; and
Prince Lichmogsky stjll asks those prices. Since
1819, however, the prices have generally de
clined ; and they now vary but little, accord
ing to the state of the wool prices, and the de
mand for fine sheep ; which latter is sometimes
so groat, that in some flocks of repute all they
can dispose of are bespoke for two or three years
to come.
j Finally, of all the advantages incident to the
' use of Merino sheep in-the British flock, as re-
I gards the carcass, we cannot do better than to
; quote the words of Mr. Trimmer (a gentleman
! to whom wc have before alluded,) who keeps
none but a pure Merino flock, and whose expe
rience and respectability equally entitle his re
marks to public attention: —“ From every ob-j
servation,” says Mr. Trimmer, “ which I have]
been able to make (and I have made them with j
great attention,) whetlier as to the number ofi
sheep my farm carries as compared with other j
farms of the like extent, quality, and circum-1
stances ; or whether with reference as to the i
| amount of turnips and other cultivated food)
| which I know a given flock of Southdowns re-
I quire, as compared with a like amount of sheep
i in my own flock ; and as my practice and in
ferences have not been confined to a few sheep,
but a largo flock, I trust I am fully w arranted in
coining to the conclusion, that three Merinos j
can be kept on the same land as the South-1
downs, taking each at the respective weights!
I have set forth.” These weights are thus al
luded to in Mr. Trimmer’s previous remarks;
“ If the Merino sheep on the average weigh
| two-thirds, whether fat or lean, of what the
I average of the Southdowns weigh, then it fol
lows that three Merinos for two Southdowns
must be kept on the same quantity of land, to
produce the same amount of mutton. If in this
case three Merinos, moderately fattened, reach.
} ed only seven stone weight each, and two South
! downs, in like manner, ten stone and a half;
each, then the amount of mutton would be
| equal. I have fattened a few Merino wethers!
I to twelve stone weight each, but that was an!
extraordinary case, and after long feeding; but
eight stone weight for a Merino wether (which
is about the .average weight of mine) may bo
set against the larger Southdowns of twelve
stone weight each, and three of one kind and
two of the other will thus give 24 stone weight
of mutton each.”

I The Saturday Courier,
\ the hugest and cheapest weekly newspaper in the
UNITED STATES, IS PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY, BY
WOODWARD Si. SPRAGG,
PRICE TWO DOLLARS PER ANNUM,
PAYABLE HALF YEARLY IN ADVANCE.
njMHS popular Journal is printed on an extra size
imperial sheet, of the largest dimensions. It con
tains twenty-eight columns of reading matter, each co
lumn being equal to eight pages ot a duodecimo book.
The publication of the COURIER was commenced in
April last, since which time it has received a patronage
so unexampled that more than seven thousand copies anc
now distributed weekly through all parts ol the United
States. This fact, which has no parallel in the annals
of the periodical-press, will show the high estimation in
which the Courier is everywhere held; and that the
same ratio of increase will continue, may lairly be pre
sumed, inasmuch as since the commencement ot the
present month, nearly one thousand new names have
been added to the subscription list.
The Courier possesses advantages over .all other week
ly newspapers. Its immense size admits ot the greatest
possible variety, and its contents furnish an extensive,
useful, novel, entertaining ahd instructive miscellany,
comprising the dillcrent branches of popular literature,
such as Tales, Poetry, Essays, Criticisms, &c.; notices
of the Fine Arts, Humor, Sporting, Anecdote, Sketches
of Life ami Manners, Police Reports, Prices Current ot
the Grain Market, Foreign and Domestic Intelligence of i
the latest dates, and an abstract and summary of all mat
ters which may possess interest for the general reader.
'The Literary Department of the Courier is watchlully
superintended, and no article is admitted which does not
possess positive merit. One Hundred Dollars were paid
for a Prize 'Tale which was published in this paper on
the 7th of January, and other inducements have been
olfercd to secure original contributions. Among the vo
i luntary correspondents of the Courier are Miss Leslie,
j (author of several publications, which have been highly
applauded by American and European critics;) Richard
Penn Smith, the celebrated Dramatist, Novelist, and
Magazine writer—Mrs. Caroline Lee Hcntz, the accom
plished author of the prize tragedy, “Dc Lara”—Miss
Bacon, the fair writer of the pathetic “Love’s Martyr,”
Ac. And many others whose names are equally distin
guished; besides a number, whose productions under fic
titious signatures, have elicited general approbation.
In the selection of literary matter, the publishers of 1
the Courier have extensive facilities. Their exchange
list includes the most valuable American journals; and!
among other periodicals which they receive from abroad
may he specially enumerated Bulwer’s new Monthly,
Campbell’s Metropolitan, Frazer’s Magazine, Loudon
Literary Gazette, Blackwood’s, La Bedle Assemblce,
World of Fashion, and the United Service Journal.
Through their agent, Mr. Willmer, they are also furnish
ed with the choicest English papers, including the John;
Bull, Bell’s Life inLoMon, Ac. j
A portion of the Courier is appropriated to Sporting |
Intelligence, and particularly, to that branch which relates)
to the Turf. Subjects of this kind aro introducer! as of
ten as a proper regard to variety will admit. Descrip
tions of Favourite Horses, their pedigree, performance
and appearance, accompanied with engraved likenesses,
are occasionally given, in furnishing which assistance is
procured from several distinguished sporUnnen.
i’ohce Reports occupy a share of attention. These j.
are prepared by a skilful person, engaged expressly for;
that purpose; and as the material, are gathered from au
thentic soureess, their general accuracy may be confi
dently relied. In arranging them for the press the re
porter combine, facstiousness with fact, and so constructs
the naratives, that in most instances they will be found
extremely graphic and diverting, without the slightest
sacrifice of truth.
In preparing the contents of the Courier, strict regard
is paid to News. All foreign intelligence, up to the la
test dates, is invariably given; and whenever a press of
matter may require it, an extra will be published. The
summary of domestic afl’airs is more complete, cor
rect and full, and embodies a greater extent and variety i
of information than can be found in any other paper, as in
■ addition to a condensed statement of localities, a synopsis
of passing events in all parts of the country is regularly
prepared and published.
In order that those who have to laugh may find matter
for their mirth, each number contains a melange of Hu
mourous Subjects, some of which is illustrated by an
engraving, executed by a skilful artist.
The Editorial Department embraces reviews of new
publications—notices of the fine arts, Ac.; remarks on
general topics—descriptions of public improvements,
amusements, &c.—discussions of suitabhle subjects—dra
matic criticisms, Ac. This department has been, and
will continue to be, conducted in a spirit of the most fear- ■
less independence- Whatever comes fairly within ob
servation, shall be frankly dealt with, and no station or in
fluence will deter the prompt and decided expression of
unbiassed opinion.
In line the Saturday Courier professes to be the lar
gest, cheapest, most diversified, entertaining and in
structive newspaper issued from the American press.—
The publishers claim for its contents a character of vi
gorous originality, judicious selection, extensive variety,
and interesting detail; and they invite comparison with
cotemporary publications.
