An American farmer writing tola Feilding stud breeder states that npbodv made money in tne sheep business in' America last year. Practically everyone lost money, and very many wealthy men who wore engaged in the she- p business two or 'three years svo are now bankrupt. It is !impossible, writes the American, to raise sheep in that country in competition with woo: grown from Austi alia or mutton or lambs from New Zeeland. A reasonable tariff wouldj doubtless give enough protection to keep them in the game and allow sheen men to buy stud rams and perhaps a few ewes from New Zealand.
