. Biggle sheep book. Sheep. Chapter I. "And Abel was a keeper of ; From the beginning of history and through all the ages the sheep has ever remained man's quiet and faith- ful friend and helper, and to-day, with its golden hoof, it is the boon and blessing of the tiller of the soil. A source of pleasure and profit to the patriarchs of sacred history, ever holding high position in the economic welfare of the small industrial world of the cultured Greek and conquering Roman, sheep were improved and increased ; throughout the dark and troublous times of the Middle Ages the industry was preserved, and during the rapid rise and advance of manufactures and all industrial pursuits of the present, sheep have kept pace with the march of progress and improvement, and still hold firm their position in the welfare and prosperity of the farmer. With the first comers to the New World came the sheep : with Columbus in 1493 came sheep from the flocks of Spain, both coarse wool and fine Merino ; with the English gentlemen to Virginia in 1609 sheep from English flocks, with wool of medium fineness ; with the Puritan fathers in 1624 to 1629 came the large, fine-wooled Wiltshire sheep from England;.
