Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Merino: For Wool and for Mutton, a Practicall Treatise on the Selection, Care, Breeding and Diseases of the Mering Sheep in All Selections of the United States Mr. G. B. Quinn, the President, and Mr. J.G. Blue, the Secretary, of the Ohio Spanish Sheep Breeders Association, addressed a communication to Mr. Stephen Powers, in which they said; The breeders and owners of Merino Sheep find they are called upon to master new and, in many cases, fatal diseases not spoken of by the celebrated writers, Randall and Youatt. Among the writers on the Merino of to-day, we think some one should present to the public a practical treatise, which shall discuss the present management, diseases and breeding of Merinos and sheep of different bloods, comparing their merits in our States and Territories. We think the present magnitude of this industry demands- the proper education of our shepherds and flock-masters in all the new diseases of Merinos which have been developed during the last decade, and in the older ones which yet, in some instances, infest our flocks. The Ohio Spanish Merino Sheep Breeders Association, by their President and Secretary, would respectfully request you, at your earliest convenience, to condense your ideas on this subject into a suitable volume, to be printed and presented to the public for their enlightenment. You have perhaps observed the need and demand for such a volume, properly written and illustrated to be placed upon the market for the thousands of flock-masters of to-day. Should you comply with this request, and should it be possible for you to give your time continuously to the volume until completed, we think the sheep fraternity of our country, and all who are interested, will freely patronize your work and appreciate your labors.
