Sheep Husbandry.
(Here is no question respecting the suitability of sheep to the climate of this island, Nor is there any question as to the advantages vo farmers of keeping sheep. Sheep are close feeders. they are easily managed. They pay two prohts. National Bank, they yield a half-yearly
dividend—one 13 the fleece. the other 13 the
lain). ' the manure they produce; and the capital -
which is the caweass —is always available by means of the local butcher, or the buyer for Cngligh, or the foreign market. [¢ costs little to start a Hoch. poor farmer can go into the business as well as the rich farmer ; and there is no risk of heavy loss; for if one shonld die,
the Provineial, the
The
it does not signify nearly sv much as the death of a cow, ox, or horse. The wonder to us is, that our farmers have not, in the to the hus- glad to note
about sheep
past, given greater attention banding of sheep ; and we are that there is more enquiry now than there has been for many years.
In his excellent letter to Senator Carvell, Mr. Snow recommends, for Canada, the adoption of the Oxford Down, the Shrop: shire Down and the South Down. The Oxford Down, Mr. Snow considers te be the best breed for our farmers ; but we do not think there is now a specimen of this variety of sheep in Prince Edward Island.
Shepherd's Manual Says ;
ye il6
‘* This is ene of the newly established cross breeds, which has a favorable reputation and promises to become permanent, It is class-d among the long woel sheep. It has rapidly ex- tended its domain in England and as a wool and mutton producer firmly holds all it gains, it originated in a cross of a Cotswold ram upon a Hampshire Down ewe. The protuce was a sheep heavier than the dam and resemb- ling the Cotswold in size and fleece. The weol, however, is finer and firmer than that of the Cotswold, and from five to seven inches in length. By continued care the best points have been preserved, and the constitution and character Of the tirst cross have been main- tained. The resultisa sheep that is found profitable te feed on a mixed farm; hardy, producing at fourteen months old a carcass of $0 to &8 Ibs.. and a fleece of 8 or 9 Lbs, of wool, By good feeding these weights are much in- creased, At the Smithtield (London) fat cattle show of 1873, a pen of three, 22 mouths old, shearlings, weighed above 895 Ibs., or an
average of 298 Ibs. each. Rams have been known te shear 20 Ibs. of wool for their first Heece. * , They
bave been found to be protitable feeders, re- quiring but little purchased food and standing the exposure to folding upon poor crops and winter without difficulty. Good rams of this breed bring about $60 at the ram sales.”
The Shropshire Down, which Mr, Snow places second on his list, is described by the Shepherd's Manual as lornless, with faeces aud legs of a spotted or dark gray color ; thick, meaty ‘neck; well-shaped,. rather small and fine head ; neat ears, well set on the head; broad deep breast ; straight back ; a good round barrel, and clean legs with strong bone. They are very hardy, thrive well on moderate keep, are quickly fattened, and produce, at 2 years old, 89 to 100 lbs., or even 120 lbs of excellent meat, which brings the highest price from the
butcher. The ewes are prolific and good methers. The fleece is heavier than that
of the Southdown, being longer and more
seven lbs. of marketable wool. This sheep
possesses many valuable qualities for our uses and promises to make a satisfactory farmers’ sheep in localities where medium wool and choice mutton are profitable, and where the sheep have to depend upon a pasture for the greater part of their sup- port. Its close, well-set fleece and hardy constitution will also help to carry it through considerable exposure and variable weathers without injury. Prize rams have sold in England fer $500 each, but at the annual ram sales the prices run from $50 to $150.” This breed is not naknown to our island.
The ‘‘ Southdown” recommended by Mr, Snow has also been introduced here ; but has been allowed to run eut, so that there are now few, if any, thoroughbreds to be found. It is ‘‘ the first of the short woo! breeds ;” and is ‘‘ decidedly the best mutton sheep in the world.” As yearlings ‘‘ they yield 75 to 80 lbs, in dressed weight of the choicest meat, and a flock of high character will produce an average of 6 lbs. to the fleece of a wool in demand for flannels and soft goods.” ‘The ewes are described as ‘‘prolitic breeders and excellent mothers.” It is an excellent feeder, its lambs are active and hardy, and as a producer of market lambs, the South Down ram has no sujrior, In regard io the South Down, the Rural New Yorker says :—
‘*The South Down gives the most for the least. ‘The mutton is the very best and the wool is just right for the country carding mills to make into rolls for home spinning; or the mills will take that wool, and weave it into homespun on shares, but they won’t look at combing wool, because it is too long to be carded. That is the great fault with the long wool sheep. Combing wool don’t sell so easy ws carding wool, because it can’t be used at the country mills ; besides, coarse-wool sheep are too fat mutton for home use. You can put
two inches ot fat ou their ribs, but that is only good to sell.
If prompt measures were taken, some
rams of the breeds above described could be obtained in ample time for nse this
ore In our opinion, no time should be ost.

Like a T'o the Hditor of the Keaminer.
Sir,-—It was my pleasure to be im Char- lottetown yesterday, and to hear the pertor- /mance of St. Dunstan's Choir, which treated the large concourse of people present to a
Ratisbonu. Some of the ingredients and condiments are now pretty well known and are found rather pal. atable Jrescendos, dimimundos, rallantan- doa, creeendos, and other Bavarian vegetables seem to be just the thing for such a dish, and can hardly fail to make countenances change and assume an expression ot security, reliet and ecinfort. However, when 1t was ascer- tained that the favourite dish had been pre- pared by rather green hands, misgivings ap- pearel lurking im the minds of _ the great majority of strangers present. ven some old dames were seen to turn up their noses in dread of some unwonted perfume, * Unfor- tunately, too, many of the most requisite me gredit nts were wanting, which presumption, ora certain spirit of jealousy, lett aside be- causé they had been used by people consider- ed nos grand enough, and rather unfit to lead the way in that culinary business, Rhythm was scarce and bad; swing was worse but plenty. Gradual, Offertory, Communion, and such like, most indispeasable to the right con- fection ef the Ratisbonn dish, especially when that cish had to be served up on such a grand celebration as that on yesterday, were left out. In fact, we had but few of those perquisites ordered by the Katisbonn recipe,and too many
of these common vegetables named abeve, ; which, are sure to come in every dish prepared
by people too fond of making a mess of their ewn. was sorry and proud to find that old Rustico furnished the organist for the occa-
sion. I must say and every one present must admit) that the organ was well played, although the choir was a great drag. In fact,
{I don't see how the choir could have got along at all, only for twe good singers--one from Rustice, the other from Hope River, kept there to keep it agoing.
‘The clergy were fairly represented from dif- feren; parts of the Isiand. <A good many of the Island priests are musicians of no mean order, and they all freely expresssed their opinion that it would be well for Charlotte- town to engage the services of some among many of the Rustice or Hope River singers, in order to organise St. Dunstan’s Choir, and give it proper ftraining.
Thanking you, Mr. Editer, for your kind indulgence, | remain, yours, etc..
PRIMITIVE ILUSTICONIAN,
P. S.--A meilifluous individual, roving be- tweea Truro and Rustico, wrote seme time ago about another Ratisbeun dish, served at Rustico, on St. John’s day, 24th ult.. [Lam sorry he flanked it,with Father McGillivray’s beautiful penegyric of the Saint, making the beautiful oration serve as sauce and gravy, or other powerful condiment, to help and burry digestion. Now, 1 enter my strongest protest against such profanity ; and Ido hope that when the Rev. Father's beautifal panegyric comes out in phamplet form, it will come out in its own beauty, without the dish, and flanking no kitchen pot. re
