An 1864 article by Winthrop W. Chenery on the Texel (Mouton Flandrin) breed of sheep, from a U.S. agricultural report. It argues that American farmers should raise long, lustrous combing wool and mutton sheep because manufacturers of worsted, alpaca-type and other fabrics are short of this wool. It compares long-wool and merino sheep on fleece weight, scouring loss and meat yield, and gives the history of the Texel breed and the author's 1863 importation to Massachusetts. Two plates show a Texel ram and ewe.
