SHEEP.
The improvement in the breed of sheep must always, and everywhere, be a matter of public interest. We have much satisfaction in being able to draw attention to the remunerative nature or the pursuit of sheep breeding, when conducted with intelligence. We have before ns a memorandum of the prices realized in Melbourne and Sydney for young New Zealand rams and ewes, bred by Mr. F. J>. Kicb, of Moeraki, Otago, by Spanish rams out of Mount Eden ewes. It will be seen that the sales were part in 1861 and part in 1862. The prices for the last two lots are much less than those of last year; but this Is accounted for by the Tact that those sold this season were only eight months old. The prices realized were as follows : Memorandum of young rams and ewes bred by Mr. F. D. Rich, of Moeraki, Otago, and sold in the Melbourne and Sydney markets during the years 1861 and 1862. Melbourne, April 6th, 1861.—1n the " Argus" of that date, average price, ±'2B each, Melbourne, Jandarv 17, (see "Argus" of the 18th, 1862), average price, £25 each*
