A« iliovriug the importance of sheep
husbandry in various countries of the
globe, we’find that (treat Britain has
ono sheep to each two acres of land;
Germany, France, and Spain one to
each five acres; the United States one
to each fifty six acres. This latter,
iVdtfcver, does not give a really correct
idea. Sheep husbandry is essentially
of more and more importance in
thickiy^cttlod regions. The United
States has yet vast areas of wild and
unsettled or only partially settled
land. The New England States,
with ah area nearly four-fifths as large
us that of (Ircnt Britain, bus but one

ono sheep to each 207,000 acres. All

the Gulf States, might not only raise
their own mutton and a largo amount

tho sale of early lambs at high prices
for shipment North. So they might

Tin groat drawback to this industry
in tho South is, as wcjl known, the
hordo of dogs kept there. Logisht-

ihii disability, especially if it was sup
plemented by a severe sholgun
practice or that more effectual rem
edy, strychnine.
Hhoop husbandry is ono of the csspn-
Uftly means which lias boon successful
ly used in England to bring into the
%i$hestproductiveness tho worn lands
of that country. There it has been
turnips mid sheep. In tho South it
may ho mangel wurir.ol and sheep,
supplemented with corn, to which
many portions of tho South are well
udapted. It is true, grass must be tho
foundation of all successful farming,
lu this respect the intelligent farmers
there must experiment with a view to
finding tho varieties host adapted to
tho blitpto. There are undoubtedly
varieties'M clover which will do well
there. ' Alfalfa should be at home in
the SciiWi, bul tlifs plant is bettor
adapted to soiling than to pasturage.
There is no farm animal that with
proper cure—and Ibis they must have
—will do more for a worn country
than sheep. So well known is Ibis
that thim* froml has been culled
goldcji. It is so inasmuch that while
]uiying well for tho wire bestowed on
thorn tliojjr are constantly enriching
tho soil on which they feed by their
droppings. It has also been said (hat
slice]) pay twice, once in tho lleeee
uml ouce itVThoearensk 'Phis again
is a truism, hut to he applied with
profit tho conditions must ho con-
‘ filial and the wire exact.
Tho West, as a rule, is hotter adap
ted to the growth of cattle and the-
feeding of swine than it is to sheep
husbandry.. The reason is obvious:
Pastures on its teeming soil are flush,
and corn is king Sheep, require a
1tm~ rnttvor nt least a'dry one. A
hil\v country is especially adapted to
sheep. '
Large portions of the South pos
sess this broken country. It 1ms
heretofore been allowed to run
to waste, ayi|; only the cotton,
sngnr, and rice lands have been util
ised. The almost exclusive culti-
vjjtioi|of cot pm over a \yido ningo of
forritflrv fias^mpoverishod the soil,
iu? any crop exclusively cultivated for
a long succession of years will assur
edly do, however rich tho soil may
originaly be. Thenceforward the re
generation of tho soil must he a work
of time. Special fertilizers may
stimulate the soil into fictitious fertil
ity for some other years, hut unless
supplemented hy iV jiUUeious rotation
tho end carries the soil further ami
further away from real fertility. A
judicious rotation of crops, with
plenty of ami sheep to eat it,
is, wo btfilevoV thb greund work of
recu|iemtion for much of tho upland
region of tho Squib. Not exclusive
ly sheep, however swine, horses, and
eattlo must find u place. But when
kept in small flocks, the longer wool-
ed varieties of slnn*]) may he kept in
just proportions as tho disability of
loss from predatory dogs nuty re-
moved. The liner wooled breetl may
be • kept in largo flocks.
As showing the wide ninge of cli
mates, in which sheep are kept for
tho value of thier wool for export, it
will bo seen from what we give below
that, almost every climate on the face
of tho globe bus exported wool to the
United States. The high und dry
plains of South America export an
nually 100,000,000 pounds of wool to
arious countries of the globe. There
the celebrated “Mestizu” is grown,
from which the finest cloth is made.
The interior of Australia produces
vast quantities of wool of the finest
grade. New Zealand produces an ex
ceedingly fine grade of wool from
which the finest delaines are made.
High, dry lands, in a warm climate,
produce the finest and best wool, for
these soils produce sweet, fine grasses.
Much of tlie hill land of the South
already produces, or may 1)Q made to
produce, not only sweet, but succu
lent grosses.
The finest merino wool besides, in
the countries named above, is produc
