A short American essay on sheep husbandry, printed in Boston at the New England Farmer office. It covers crossing and the introduction of pure (especially Merino) breeds, how to select sheep for breeding, lambing, weaning, pasture, winter fodder, salt and water, shelter, and washing wool before shearing. The final sections describe sheep diseases and their remedies: rot, mouth and hoof distemper, scab, sheep-pox with inoculation, and reeling sickness.
