NUMBER OF SHEEP.--It is estimated
by the editor of the American Farmer, that
there are in the United States, 5000, 600
of that useful animal, the sheep. We think
this quite probable, from the number re
turned in the State of New-York, by the
census of 1925, which was 3,496,539, or
nearly one fourth of the whole. The whole
amount of wool and sheep produced annual


ly in France, is estimated to be worth some


what less than SIS, ,ooo,0 900. The attention
TO the growth of sheep, the production of
wool, and demand for that staple for our
manufactures, has increased in most as
tonishing manner within the last few years
Who would suppose We already raised more
wool than France, with its double popula-
tion, and long established manufactures.
