Jt iKhr Austrnlio Breeder Will Shear Over 1,230,000 Animals This Season. Samuel McCnughey, of Coonong, Ri \f*r?nn, N. A. W., Is (he largest sheep farmer In the world, both its regards numbers and, -what is more important, quality. lie is the most /^progressive* cheep farmer of the age, and hai brought his stock to great perfection, lie shears 1,250,000 sheep this season, und would itfivo had more, but lost 250,000 in the drouth two years ago, but thought nothing of it. as every year he has between 800,000 and 400, 000 lambs. At Toorak and Dunlop, h stations on the Darling river, he she 000,000 sheep this year. IIj boug them from his uncle, ?ir Samuel Wil son, and has develops them magnifi cently. There is'^fltemlly "water, ?water, everywhere," what, with dams, links nnd artesian wells; and all is fenr-ed in and subdivided into pad docks. The area is about 1,500,000 acres In a ring fence. He has also a fine property in Queensland, on whic.i hp 'is shearlug 400,000 sheep. > I is Coo nMig station Is only his stud f;?rm. It ft only 41,000 ac6rf* in extern, and ho has upon It 15,000 sheep of very high quality, from which he sends annually large drafts to Improve the breed on bin other properties. Mr. MeCaughey is able to boast, as one result of long-rontlnuod efforts, that he has InereaHed the yield of each of his own sheep yenrly to the extent of one pound of clean scoured wool. Now, even at the present low ranjjo of prlees, a pound of clean scoured meri no combing Is not worth less than 18 pence, so that It follows that this en terprising man has increased his wool returns by upward of ?100,000 per an num. These victories of Mr. MeCaugh ey are not merely "no less," but "muc'i more" renowned than the sort of vie | torles that are gained on the northwest frontier of India. It Was only fourteen years ago that the owner of Coonong first became convinced of the value of the Verroout breed of merino sheep. It was In 1SSA that he purchased about a dozen of this breed of rami, which had been Im ported into Sydney. So convincedwaa he that,he had, as It wore, struck oil, that fhree yean later he vleited the States and selected for hlmteif 100 of the finest rams la that State and the .following year the flock irae added to \ >y a further Importation of 900 more.
