An 1864 agricultural report article by William R. Sanford of Orwell, Vermont, on the history and breeding of fine-wooled Merino sheep in Vermont. It traces the Jarvis, Paular, Infantado and Saxon flocks and describes the author's 1851 buying trip to France, Spain and Germany. It also covers in-and-in breeding, winter feeding, shearing and the wartime outlook for wool prices and tariffs. Plates show the ram Comet, Merino ewes, a Paular ram and a Paular ewe.
