BREEDING FAT SHEEP.
ARE THEY TOO HEAVY? Mora attention should bo paid by farmers to tho weight of tho fat sheep they breed, says a well-known North Island breeder. The present tendency, ho 6ays, is to get tho sheep too heavy. A good freezer, he adds, should weigh about 601b., whereas many of thoni nowadays go nearer 901b. The mutton, of a big hoavy ■sheep is much coarser than that of tho smaller typo and, according to tho breeder in question, it does not command as good a' price on the London market.
