SHROPSHIRE SHEEP IN 1919.1 By Mr. Alfred Mansell in the "Live Stock Journal." I Shropshire sheep breeders are to be con- gratulated on an excellent export trade during the past season, which would have totalled nwe than 1,000 but for the untoward out- break of foot and mouth disease at the latter end of the shipping sejason. It appears some- what ridiculous that because an outbreak of this disease occurs in Warwickshire, sheep bred in Shropshire, North Wales, Scotland, Ireland, or, in fact, any part of the United Kingdom, cannot be shipped to the United States and Canada. During 1919 some 872 Shropshire sheep have been exported, as against 898 in 1918; 524 in 1917; 368 in 1916; 155 in 1915; 553 in 1914; 702 in 1913; HQ in 1912; 883 in 1911; and 1,071 in 1910. Shropshire sheep were more numericall, y re- presented at the Cardiff Royal Show than any othe. breed, and the general excellence and uniformity of character was very gener- ally commented, upon. In the two-shear ram class Mr. Frank Bibby's first prize exhibit went to Mr. R. E. Birch at 60 gs., Mr. Berry's second prize winner being taken for Ireland by Lord Barrymore, the third prize ram of Mr. Bibby's going to Mr. F. W. Harding, U.S.A., at 40 gs. In shearling rams (a strong class) Mr. Bibby secured premier hopours, and the ram in question was bought by Mr. Nock for 120 gs. Mr. R. E. Birch's second prize ram went to the Argentine at 90 ga. In pens of three rams sales were as follows first, Duke of Westminster, 120 gs. (T. A. Buttar), 45 gs. (F. W. Harding, U.S.A.), 35 gi. (Mr. John Miller, Canada); second, Mr. Bibby, 100 gs. (Mr. Hilton, U.S.A.); third prize, Mr. E, C. Tanner, 50 gs. (Mr. Nunner- ley); fourth prize, Mr. Bibby, 50 gs. (Colonel Charteris, Ireland) (Mr. McKerrow, U.S.A.), 37 gs.

Birch took the second prize with a good, thick, strong, square, set- up sheep, having lots of bone, good dense fleece, and a good skin. The third prize went to Mr. N. J.

C. Pryce (Broughton). In pens of twenty shearling field ewes, always an interesting class, first went to a pen of strong, big-framed ewes of Mr. C. L. Coxon's; Mr. N. J.
