Mr. Hugh Johnston, an old and known resident of Goderioh, who -has been spending the winter with his son in Texas, in a letter to the Gabriela Star gives the follOwing interesting sketch of sheep raising in that State. The sheep business is one ofthe leading industries of Bosque llounty, Texae, and Mr. Johnston's son being largely en- gaged in sheep farming, he seems to havenaade himself thoroughly .conver: sant with the general features of the business. The following extract, will, we fancy, be read with interest. 'He says: I now propose to say something about the leai -f sheep ' adapted for this count' ar as my experience has led me to love. The merinos open air, in a oli very little kno come, and who w: to see their mean as to enable them the busy haunts pleasant at some, may tire of flock and railway facili increased ever sin the Government . offices and new m companies bui1dr fording much, qn communication w One of these n passes through w wilderness and th needing one, addi runs through Crd endure vicissit es and extremes of Palmer eounties, weather better t•han any other sheep ; Fe, New Mexico, chic Ocean.

Suited as these are to scanty, dried up or poor hill side pasturage, no English mutton breeds can compare with thern. It will not require any formal array id facts from me 'to show that the profits _pf sheep husbandry on the prairies must succeed, and that the profits of sheep production far exceed those of horses, cattle or swine. He who embarks ex- tensively in sheep husbandry in the older States or Canada, must buy a large amount of comparatively high- priced land, clear up, fence, sow, pas- ture, build for shelter, &c., before he is ready to purchase a flock of sheep to make a beginning. All this requires an outlay of much capital, whereas the prairie sheep farmer. can 1 commence operations without buying anythingbut his sheep, or if he does not chose to be a pure nomad, he can buy acres for less than the annual interest of acres of the ordinary grazing lands of the old States or Canada,. His principal capital is a decent knowledge of his business, and enough energy to persevere in it. Thus have started a large majority of the pioneer sheep ,farmers of this -'State. Northern men are generally told not to commence_ sheep husba,ndry on the prairies until they have allthe con- venient appliances. Of course the sooner he can surround himeelf with them the better, but he acts wisely in not waiting for the -m. The object' of the sheep man is to get on the edges of the creeks in - the valleys, where he builds his house, sheds for his sheep, fences for his grain and root fields, and pastures of rye, oats Or barley, 'for early spring feed for his ewes and lambs. When he obtains the bank 4 of the creeks and the clumps of woo land, he in effeet has the permanent c ntrol of the hills and pasturage for in ny miles in extent. There are immenetracts of ing the "blaze" of the surve specting for minerals in the. mountains of New Mexico.

These men generally ,have served flock masters for a few years, until they earn sufficient in .enough sheep to commence a flock of their own. They follow their sheep by day over the prairies, herding them in little tempor- ary inclosures at night, to protect them from wolves and, dogs. 'Wolves 1 have not seen in my travels as yet: In the fall they erect a temporary larrange- ment for their sheep during the winter, and on the first appearance of spring . grass resume their . wanclerhis,s., The merinos were found to be the @Jeep re- quired here, as wool is the prevailing commodity, so that breeding for mutton is but little pursued.

North. —The Jews in ducer. A sheep can be raised as cheaply in Texas as a goose ora turkey in Canada ; the climate ie so genial that .sheep hardly need a shepherd, and multiply with unexampled rapidity. As I. have already said, a ,small capit0 is sufficient for going into the wool business, and this fact makes it mitre attractive than the cattle business to men of moderate Means. Mexican ewes can be bought for 50 cents each in Mexico, and driven across the ,country ; but the drive is so far from here, that those who own the ranches' and have a fixed place of abode ttre content to put up with a dearer lot of ewes. One thousand ewes and merino bucks On- sti‘ute a good flock= to begin with. If you want to own your own land yon can purchase it for a dollar an acre. Shearing costs five cents a head, and as it is the custom to shear twice a year, instead of once, as in Canada; we have an extra, crop of wOol.

Frorci what have seen from the returns, the business is a re- markably good one as far as remunera- tion is concerned.
