. The successful stockman and manual of husbandry . Livestock; Veterinary medicine. • fc. A LINCOLN RAM. The I/incoln. This is one of the ' 'long-wool'' sheep which orig- inated in the rich low-lands of England. These lands, however, were so productive of high-priced, marketable crops, that the sheep have been driven from their native soil to the uplands. All the other of the well- known ' 'long-wool'' varieties have been almost entirely driven out from this low, rich, alluvial soil, leaving the Lincoln almost undisputed pos- session. This breed is the heaviest bodied sheep in existence. Full-grown sheep of this variety have dressed nearly one hundred pounds per quar- ter. It is not an unusual thing for yearlings to dress one hundred pounds and shear a dozen pounds of wool. This breed will be called a long-wooled sheep, because the wool, wb^n full grown, often measures nine inches in length. There is a record of twenty-six pounds and six.
