Planters Repository. Th* task of working improvement! on the e*rth it much more delightful to an undtUsuefid Bund, than all the vain which can be acquired fiora ravaging it, by the moat unin terrupted career of conquetta. BTt—- -—~i is=~. ■ “* SHEEP- It is with reluctance that I am about to express my opinion as to this stock, lest they may discredit those upon sub- Sects concerning which 1 have had more experience. For sixteen years I have labored to estimate their value and cha racter upon a small scale, having a nock only of from one to four hundred, daily attended by a shepherd; and my conclu sion* are. that they require and consume far more food, in proportion to their aize than any other stock ; that they are mure liable to disease and death, and that they cannot be made a profit a ble object, throughout the whole ex tent of the warm dry climate, and san dy soil of the United States, but by banishing tillage from vast tracts of country. These opinions are by no means intended however to exclude them as a luxury for the table, capable of being made to repay a considerable portion of the expence it causes. It is probable that the hoi constitu tion of sheep, produces a rapid diges tion, nd that insatiable appetite, by which the fuel is accounted ior. ot their flourishing only to any extent in line meadows or « xiensivc wi'dernesses. If this voraciousness is not gtatifird, the animal perishes or dwindles; il it is, he depopulates the country he inha bits. The sheep of Spain have proba bly kept out of existence, or sent out ol it, more people than the wild bea3ts ol the earth have destroyed from the crea tion ; and those of England may have caused a greater depopulation, than all her extiavagant wars. It n>ay he ow ing to this animal that the indepen dence of one country is almost over thrown, and of the other tottering. In both countries the sulh .iency of bread for sheep, may hav* produced this in sufficiency of bread for man, and pre judice may have nurtured errors, of which our folly may relieve them ju°t I as superstition has been known to seize or steal an idol, which had long been a > curse to the place of its invention It is admitted that the woo! of sheep is to a certain extent a necessary, and often a luxury ; but if I fancied a peat I, why should i d ve for it myself, when those who love the employment, wish to sup ply me; or why should a nation depo pulate itself to gain them, if it can be come strong and populous without pearls ? The earth’s capacity to pro duce load and materials for clothes is limited, and by endowing the brute creation wi;h so much of the tormer, as to produce a deficit for man’s use, in order to obtain a surplus of the latter for exportation the sheep policy ts said to be peifccied. It is probable that an acre of the proper soil in the proper cli mate is capable of raising ten times as much cotton wool, as sheep’s, and if Wtc shall only glance at the vast qu inti ty of the former material for clothing, expo - ted from a small district of coun try thinly peopled, wesha 1 ut once s e tht capacity of the caith o pioduce it to any needful extent without paying depopulation for raiment. Although sheep's wool was the best resource for It state of ignorance, it it superceded to u great ex ent by a state of cotton manu facturing skill ; and whilst the English nation have ptoved the high value of our cotton, and opened an inexhausti ble demand for the abundance which we can spare, it is certainly a responsi ble hostage for the small portion of her woollens we may want; and an ex change is probably better than turning our corn fields into sheep pastures. It is exactly the case in which contmeric renders a mutual benefit, as we under our warm and dry climate, and in our sandy soil, can raise coth n cheaper than in England ; and she by the help o! her moisture and verdure, can raise wool cheaper than the United States. It is curious that wool should be supplanting cotton here, whilst cotton is supplanting wool in Europe ; but as fashions wear out in one country they ilee to another. Their manure is the chief recom pence for the ex pence of sheep, and wotth more than their wool, it they are regularly penned It is ttue, that this will in some degree injure them, but it is indispensable, unless by surrendering to them a power of grazing at w ill, the calamitous alternative of speedily re ducing ,hc faun to a barren is resorted to. Moveable pens, as in the ease of cat tle, are best iu the watm season of the year; in the cold, a fa- iu pen shelter also open to the south, and closed to the groUßd towards the other three cardi nal points, will suffice to the 39;h de gree of north latitude. Tni» p u should be regularly littered with sulits, s raw or litter of «cuy kind.

In winter, the sheep will eat every thing, and the bet ter the food the more they will thrive. A great quantity of corn, caught soft by frost, most of which became quite black, and ail of it such as to be refused by hogs, was greedily eaten bv sheep ; and the supply being copious made the best fl c.k i ever saw. In winter, their farm pen is made in the field to be cul tivated in corn, the following summer, in which field the sheep aie then al lowed daily to feed under the superin tendence of the sin pherrl. Ijting co vered with the dry litter of c.over, the little grass they eat under it is of some service to them, and the li'ter itself is more convenisn ly disposed for the plough by being trodden down.
