Virginian to turn his atten tion to the propogation of this valuable animal. A climate the mod mild and temperate, abun dant provifions, the finenefs of our fleeces, when the dock is u’t II fed, and of late the intro- duftion of Merino Sheep, are acqoifitions that render this country fupevior to any upon earth. The great Do&or Frank lin forefaw this immenfe fource of American wealth, when he was examined by Parliament on the internal refources of the co- Ionics. He anfwered, “ the co lonies have combined together ro eat lefs Lamb and raife more Sheep.’’—Where has the genius of patriotifin fl d ? Shall the blood of ’76 be offered up a fa- crifice on the altar of avarice or p'Jcafui'e ? May the genius of A- merican liberty forbid. Let us examine our Farmers and fee who among them is unwilling to enter into fitch an affociation. Let it never be laid that Virginia, the garden of America, poffef- fing fo many advantages, delays to vie with her fider States and exalt her fame. When we are informed that 40,000 Sheep co ver the fields of a Spanifii gran dee, and that the poored Turk thinks his flock infignificant if not exceeding 100, can we who bead our liberty and abundance, be contented with a few meager, ill bred, fickly wanderers, which juftify and therefore receive no attention. The value of the Me rinos is evident, from the price they bear, and from the value of their fleeces. A crofs breed from thefe or one of the genu- | ino blood from Spain fhould lead the flock of every man in pof- J f fiion of a farm. When we confider fo many advantages at- , tached to the propogation of: langerious animals, we are led } to enquire into the caufes of its | delay. To our Northern hri*. j thren it may feem the eflecV of j torpid indifference—The want of emulation. But we know a more obvious reafon. Nothing could fo long have retarded the J progrefs of a work fo laudably . commenced by a number of gen tlemen in the middle diftrift of Virginia, but that cruel love of the pleafurcs of the chafe, which has induced gentlemen of the firlt clafs to raife fuch numerous packs of hounds and mongrel dogs, the mod definitive ene mies to the Sheep. I would therefore move, that every man who judly ellimates the value of his flacks, who fees how nearly they are connected with the in- depence of his country, and his own individual intereft will ira- iWdiately facrifice the ufclefs for the benefit of the ufeful ani mal. This perhaps may be confider- ed an objeft of primary impor tance. But it might be proper y'fo to mention an error into which fome farmers have fallen, and which ought to be correct vd. I mean the erroneous prac tice of penning the Ram for a certain time in the fall feafon. . Some fuppofe the delay will be the means of avoiding the cold of February, fometjmes fa tal to the lamb. But tins is found ko be an incorreft procefs. It not only renders the Ewes lefs prolific, but is a means of en feebling the lambs. And it is found that the earlieft are com monly the healthied and molt thrifty. I would alio add, ano ther neceffary caution. When we cl.oofe from the flock a mut ton or a lamb, we fiiould not take the larged and befi, leaving the word for propogation. Our appetite might had us to this mi flake. Bat a little cbfervati on however foperficial, may lead to its correftion. A'-fdo’ Sheep are the lead exppnfive animals in our dock, they do not there fore require the lead of our at tention, to make them the mod ufeful..—-" Keep your Seep fat. and your fleeces will be large & fine,” was the common adag- of an experienced Farmer in Eafi Virginia. But in order that out dock may occupy more of ou* attention and care, a derivation from the bed Tpecies (the Me rino) fhould be a primary ac- quifition. - Paris, Feb. 17.
