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 Alice]) to each thirty acres; and Ohio, 01 o of our greatest slice]) producing ficrcs. *TrTio“'culloii'*$1 iitcfl'TmW'Fillf ono sheep to each 207,000 acres. All tiw m regions of tho south, even of the Gulf States, might not only raise their own mutton and a largo amount aLwjQulIotC.xport, but sections, near to railways might realise lurgely from tho sale of early lambs at high prices for shipment North. So they might send extra fat. mutton sheep North, Sf* ,f“ l . Tin groat drawback to this industry in tho South is, as wcjl known, the hordo of dogs kept there. Logisht- d&H m^ht \lo something to remove ihii disability, especially if it was sup plemented by a severe sholgun practice or that more effectual rem edy, strychnine. Hhoop husbandry is ono of the csspn- Uftly means which lias boon successful ly used in England to bring into the %i$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 ed in Spain, France, Algeria, and Capo Colony on the Lu Plata, South j uriu iv/ui England,. Scotland, Dominion of Canada, West Indies, British Africa, British East Indies, Australia, Cuba Franco, Brazil, China, Argentine He public, Dutch West Indies, Guiana, Mexico, Italy, Venezuela, Belgium, United States of Colombia, Urunguuy Kussiu on the Black sen, Chili, ]ten- mark, Danish West Indies, Austria, and Turkey are countries which have exported wool to tho United States. . Tho great plains of the West cor respond to the dry plains of some of tho countries named above. Others, like Spain, Franco, and Austria, have climates not unlike the South. If the intelligent farmers there will press only for wool, lmt for mutton also. But it must ho remembered shoe]) are few and Prairie Farmer. far How delightful must have been the thrills that ran up and down the aged log of Benjamin Disraeli, son of a small trader, when the order of the Garter was strapped around it—that order which is reserved for kings, princes and docks of high degree.
