If on the other jhiamd the lambs sen* over aro than urnd plain, then, they caran'ot paiss <a« first quality, and the question* of breed in • second quality does not jmuicbi matter, and affects the valine very little. ■'" \ This no doubt 5s »tihe cause of any doubt tihlat may .stfcill hi© held by some shipper® as to the unquestionable superiority of the Down breed.
