A mid-19th-century American agricultural article by Henry Boynton of Vermont on Spanish merino sheep. It covers the breed's history and antiquity, the 1860s demand and prices for thoroughbred stock, and projections for U.S. wool consumption and production. The practical management sections cover winter housing, water, feeding of hay, turnips and grain, docking lambs, summer pasture, salting, and breeding. Two pages show photographs of prize merino rams.
