Than any establish incut ,in the State, and
preferred. The experience of years de-
monstrates that, in the growing of fine
wool, the south need have.no competitor,
and we feel fully satisfied that it would
now be the most profitable branch of their
agricultural industry. There are flocks
in that region that produce wool that can-
not be surpassed by any in Germany.—
Among them, and perhaps the very first,
is the floek of Mr. R. Cockrill, of Nash-
ville, Tenn, i For evenness, firmness, and
strength of staple, his flbek has not yet
been outdone by the very highest bred
German flqcks. Though there is little
encouragement for growing fine wool any
where, yet we should advise opr
South not to abandon it, but to keep
steady along, for it will not be many years
I before they have the fine wool market
entirely to themselves ; for the i mount of
strictly fine Saxon wool grown
of the Ohio river will be less
cveiy year. 1
rior flocks, like our friends Reat, of Dal-
ton, Ohio, and Ladd, ofRichrpoid, Ohio,
and who are fond of, and understand
breeding, will continue (hem : nJ make!
them profitable; but we fear tlat unless
there is some great change soon, t he Saxon
will not spread North and West.

race, with thick, heavy fleeces, full of
gum and yolk, and formed to withstand
well the rigors of our hard winters. Like
. their congener, the SaxoU, they delight
in a dry soil, and will thrive upon pasture
where larger sheep would starve. In
Vermont, objection is made to this breed
of sheep by wool dealers, because the
wool is so heavy by reason of its gum and ’
yolk. It may. not be profitable for them,
but it shows the great value of the breed
for cold and bleak regions. But as this
sheep travels west, it loses this objection;
for throughout the West the wool retains
its firmness, but loses much of its super-
fluous gum and oil, while the animal loses
none oi its previous vigorous constitution.
Crossed upon the common breeds of
Ohio, Michigan and other western states,

• There is much discussion upon the
question as to the most profitable breed
of sheep. One party asserts that the true
breed is the finest and purest* Saxony ;
another is equally certain that it is the
hardy, gjmmy Merino; a third is op-
posed to all fine woolled sheep, arrd can
only grow the South Doww; while still
another can see no profit in any but the
Jong woolled and stately Cotswold, or
Leicester; while a great number are in
favor of the mongrels obtained by a cross
from a part or all of the kind mentioned.
The object of raisiig sheep, as of any
other kind of farming, is to make money,
to turn the annual herbage ii^to cash.—

ing valuable article otr the pendent of the N. Y. Commercial Adver-
tiser writes, as follows to that paper
Your reiders may remember that some
. months ago the French Government
adopted the plan of unpaving and ma-
, eadamizing certain streets of Paris. The
streets- selected for this purpose were
those which traverse the quarter St. An-
toine and other turbulent parts of the city.
- Their macadamization was intended to
secure to lhe troops an easy access to the
insurgents, and en-able them to insulate
and cut off in detail the different crops.
The whole plan was'devised and matured
by experienced military engineers, but
its execution gave great offence to the
proprietors, merchants, and other inhabi-
tants of the streets chosen for the change,
they preferring greatly lhe occasional dis-
advantages, oi> an insurrection to being
choked with dust or drabbled with mud
the year round. Petitions and remon-
strances rained in on the authorities.
Fortunately for all parties, a recent dis-
covery obviates all difficulty. The mix-
ing with asphaltum gives a smooth and
firm road, free from^all the inconvenien-
ces of the macadam, and the noise in-
separable from lhe use of the old pave-
ment. One or. two short streets and part
of the Boulevard have been laid with this
mixture and th®result is highly satisfac-
tory. 'The measure of the Government,
at first so unpopular, is redeemed by this
discovery. When the new mixture is
applied to all the macadamized lines in
Paris, we shall have the handsomest,
smoothest, least noisy and best streets in
Europe. •: jipi —
