Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from For 1810, Communicated to the Massachusetts Society for Promoting Agriculture The Trustees of the Massachusetts Society for promoting Agriculture present to the public a collection of papers, which, though not wholly original, will, it is hoped, be found useful. In the present condition of our country no object perhaps is dearer to the Agriculturalist and Manufacturer, than the importing and breeding of the Spanish Merino Sheep, the wool of which, for most uses, is incomparably {he best in the world. The essay of lord Somerville, therefore, on the nature, feeding, and treatment of sheep is particularly valuable. In their last publication the Trustees offered a premium of 250 dolls, for the first five rams of the Merino breed imported pure from Spain, and the same sum for the first ten ewes. Notices of these premiums were made public in the newspapers and custom-houses generally through the State. The premiums for the rams have been claimed and paid. The first ram was brought from Spain by capt. Bartlet, of Plymouth. The next four rams were imported by capt. Knap, of Newburyport; and recently forty-seven full-blooded Merinos have been imported from Spain by Cornelius Coolidge, Esq. who claims the premiums for the ewes. These premiums will be paid on his complying with the condition, accompanying them, which was, that the sheep shall be sold to farmers within the state. These several importations have been probably made in consequence of the premiums offered by the Society. The value of this breed of sheep is now so well ascertained, that the high price at which they sell will be a sufficient inducement with future importers to bring them into the country, separately from any encouragement on the part of the Trustees. Cultivators will be pleased and instructed by the account of peach trees, contained in these papers, as it affords hints for the raising and perfecting of the most wholesome and delicious of fruits.
