Young Stock For The Market
The fact that beavy fat sbeep have been disorirninBted agaiLSt lately in city markets empbasizes the statement that the demand is growint? more and more in favor of light weight sbeep for mutton. This makes the Sonthdown one of the most desirable breeds to raise, both on account of hardiness aud.quality. Fifty years ago it was the favorite variety on the bilis of Vermont for buth wool and matton, but the greasy Merino carne in for wool only and supplanted the Soutbdowu. Popular taste is being rapidly educated to yonng stock of all kinds, cattle as well as Bheep. ín the principal European markets tbere is no demand and almost no sale for old sneep, nearly everything marketed being yearlings and lambs. It looks as if tbe time woold soon oorue when the demand in this country would lie of the same character.
