Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of Sheep Husbandry in Massachusetts: Lecture The subject of sheep husbandry, always one of the greatest importance to the whole farming community, seems again to be exciting general interest and attention in our State, and, in the opinion of the Board of Agriculture, would be aided and advanced by a somewhat extended consideration in a paper which I was directed to prepare and bring before this meeting, and by the full discussion which is to follow. In all ages the sheep has been a prominent representative of rural husbandry, profitable and eminently respectable, from the time that Abel, the first keeper of sheep, made to the Lord an acceptable offering of the firstlings of his flock - early lambs; and many hundreds of years later that great farmer and flock-master, Job, reckoned among his stock fourteen thousand sheep. Originally neither the flesh of the sheep nor of any other animal was used as an article of food. According to Biblical history, only a vegetable diet was permitted, - the fruit of every tree in the garden of Eden (with one exception) "and every herb of the field;" so that for about sixteen hundred years, till after the deluge, no sheep were killed to be eaten. It was only after Noah had stepped forth from the ark and offered his sacrifice that the Divine permission was given, "Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things."
