J AGKICL LiT t H A L • From the Ix>ndon Tirr.es. 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.” Ai ih sta, May 31st, 1832. | PERSONS having business to transact with the late! firm of Huxer &.
