New Breed of Sheep, for Canadian Farmers
Shown above on their arrival in
Canada in the Canadian Pact-
fie Steamships freighter Beaver -
brae are several sheep that will
mean a great deal to Canadian
farmers in the future. They are
a gift to the Province of Ontario
from the Kerry Hill Flock Book
Society in North Wales and are
an outstanding breed of general
sitIlit7 sheep, which, due to their
adaptability to any environment,
are expected to gain rapid favor
in this country.
The gift of the pen of ten ewes
and one ram was arranged
through the good offices of W.
Rupert Davies, president and
editor of the Kingston, Ont.,
Whigh-Standard. These prize wim-
Dare, products of generations of
breeding with the roost careful
methods of selection being exer-
cised, are destined for the Ontario
Agr1 nitural Society at Guelph,
from where the strain is etdiect-
ed to spread to other parts of the
country.
An idea of the economic and
eugenic value of the gift pen may
be deriVed from the fact that the
eleven animals took first prize at
the annual Kerry Hill Sheen Fair
where some 10,000 to 15,000 sheep
were shown, Besides being able
to withstand bleak weather, these
sheep are handsome and symme-
trical, and will, it is felt, prove of
