A French encyclopedia article on the sheep (mouton) from the Dictionnaire des Arts et Manufactures et de L'Agriculture. It surveys French sheep breeds (Flemish, Vendean, Breton, Provençal, Poitevin, Berrichon, Beauceron and others), grouping them by wool type: coarse, common and fine merino. It discusses merino and crossbred (métis) wool and its use in cloth, how to select breeding animals, and the improvement of native flocks by crossing with Dishley, Southdown and merino rams. Two pages carry engravings of sheep.
