Sheep-farming, although not practised here to any great extent, would doubtless do exceedingly well. A gentleman who resides ten or twelve miles off has a considerable flock, and he informed me that they were the most remunerative stock he 204 MANUFACTUKES. Possessed, if it were not for the depredations made upon them by dogs and wild animals ; but as the country grows older these pests will become scarcer and ultimately cease. A great advantage attached to this description of stock is that thr...ee times in the year they produce, so to say, a crop first, the lambs in Spring, which are always saleable ; se- condly, the wool in Summer, which is now, from the scarcity of cotton, at double its usual value ; and, thirdly, mutton in Winter, which, if it has been fattened on Indian corn, is excellent and always in demand. The secession of the Southern states has placed a complete stop to the cotton trade. Wool is consequently called upon to fill its place, and as a consequence mills for the manufacture of cloth are being erected wherever water-power can be obtained.
