Cheviet sheep are excelled by none. They
are as large'as the, Cotswolds,: While tho
Mutton is considered better and the fleece
finer ' and Closer. On good pasture the
fleece grows 'finer and sells ,for a higher ,
Trice than when the aniinalk are fed on
coarse grass. Of course the mutton is
affected to a considerable , extent by the
