CULLING AND CLASSING.
" The secret of success in tlio husbandry of sheep-breeding is similarity of typa. Keep to one type and blood —select your stud breeder and stick to him, ana over a term of years you will come out on top. Constitution and purity of blood are everything. You can improve the wool quality, but you cannot improve constitution that does not exist. One hundred good ewes are more desirable than 300 poor-ones. Select your tops and cull. You cannot bo too severe in your culling. Cull all that arc not up to standard, and next year mato to rams of quality—you'll get a higher class of sheep and a more even 'typo ot wool. Big-bone sheep are desirable—good walkers and good workers. You can breed anything by culling, if you feed your sheep."—Dalgety Review.
