Sheep?Their Varieties and Culture.
Tha sheep is so important an nniiual that
anything regarding its improvement, or any
effort to prevent its deterioration, do.-er>t*
the deepest attention. Dr. Iirown, of Phila
deiphia, quoted by 'flw Plough, Poohi n\d
Anvil, divides sheep into tho woolbcanng
v - and the hair-bearing. The structure of'lite
fibre of the wo >1 on the former appears to
be essentially dUforent from that of the hairy
anUtiu.ce ol the latter, wlleu both tire vie??dmtebugli
;t powerful tmcrosCopo. Thou
arc distinct specio*, anil should bo kept so.
Vet no afleiuion has been paid to this fact,
...and the races have become so crof fed aud
cotifounded, that the same sheep bears
