The Public is certainly much interested in the fleecy Flock .... Legislatures have thought Sheep an Object worthy their Notice.
The Assembly of New-Jersey enacted several Laws for their Preservation, but those Laws being only temporary, are now expired. By the last Act of that Province, among other Things, a Tax of one Shilling was laid on the first Dog kept in any Fam- ily, and Two Shillings on every other ; this Fund was appropriated to make good the Damages done by Dogs killing Sheep.

IN reading the Supplement to the Pennsylvania Gazette No. 2175, I met with a Piece, signed Amin- ter, which is so agreeable to my Mind that I could not but rejoice when I read it, and should be glad if it might be a Means of making some Provision for the Safety of our Flocks in the Jerseys. I must con- fess I was sorry when I heard that so useful a Law as that which laid a Tax on Dogs, was expired, and come to an End. Is not taking the Tax off Dogs, an

Encouragement for many People to raise and keep more than are really necessary? And Dogs, when they get several of them together, are more apt to do Mischief, than where there is but one by himself.
It is not three Days since I was discoursing with a Friend of mine on the same Subject (before I saw that Piece, signed Aminter) he seemed very sorry so useful a law should be dropt, and told me, he would willingly pay Tax for his Dog, if that Law might be suffered to continue in Force, and I doubt not but it is the Case with many more, if not the greatest Part of the Farmers in New-Jersey.
One Objection I have heard against the Dog Tax is, that it amounted to a great deal for the Hunters, who keep Hounds, to pay ; but may we not say with Aminter, to tax the mischievous Pleasures of Man- kind, cannot be thought unjust or impolitic ?

SIR,
A Farmer in New Jersey gives the following genu- ine Account of the Profit he made on his Sheep in one Year, which please to communicate to the public, as it may induce others to follow his Ex- ample.
In the Fall 1769 he had 46 Sheep, the - common Rate in that Season is 8s. per Head.
£.
In May 1770, he had 136 1. of Wool, 18 8 which he used or sold at 2S. 13. I 2
He has sold or used in his Family 8 \ Weathers at 15s. is 6
Ditto, 4 Ewes, at 8s. I I2
His Stock now remains 56, value at 8s. - as above. 22. 8
43 I 2
Which gives a Profit of £.25 4 in one Year, on £.8 18s.1 The Winter was uncommonly open, so that they required very little Fodder, hardly any besides the Corn Stalks, in February and March to the heavy Ewes ; and in Summer a Fallow of about 45 Acres, kept them till the first of Sept. except about three Weeks.
Another Farmer in his Neighbourhood who kept 60 Sheep last Winter, sold this Summer 14 Weath- ers for £.15 15 so that his profit must have been greater, but have not the particulars.
We might expect that Self-Interest would be a
1 An error for £18, 8s.

1770]
sufficient motive to Farmers to increase their Stock of Sheep, as they are indisputably more advantage- ous than any other Article they can go upon, and much less Trouble. It is also of the highest con - cern to the Public, for it is not doubted that if we had double the Quantity of Wooll, that it would be all manufactured, now every Pound of Wooll of 2s. value, manufactured ; may be worth 8s. Therefore a Farmer that increases his Stock of Sheep, besides the great gain to himself, will highly benefit the Country, for reckoning each Sheep, will yield 212 1. when made up will be worth 20s. of which 15s. will be clear gain to the Colony.
The County of Hunterdon in 1768, had in all near- ly 20,000 Sheep, suppose them to be doubled, which might very well be if they kept fewer useless Horses, and plowed fewer worn out Fields, this would yield 50,000 l. of Wooll, and would be worth £. 15,000 be- sides paying for the Wooll, for all the Expences of Spinning, Weaving and dressing is our own Labour, except a little dying stuff. But suppose we reckon the County of Hunterdon together with the twelve other Counties should each increase their Sheep only 5,000, this would make an Addition of 65,000 in the Colony, the Wooll made up would be worth £.43,- 750, besides paying the Farmer. What a large an- nual Sum, would this be saved or gained to the Col- ony, and how worthy the Attention of the Public?
The Farmer who gives the above Account has al- ready increas'd his Stock of Sheep to above 100, and tho' four Times as many as used to be kept on his Farm, he further intends to add to the Number.

In this Backsliding Age, the only effectual Rem- edy against Importation, that Bane of our Country, would be for the Northern Colonies to increase their Number of Sheep, which together with raising flax, will put the Materials in our Hands of being a Rich and powerful People ; for if we take to Manufactur- ing, it will keep our Wealth at Home, and our Peo- ple together, who are now scattering over this wide extended Continent to remote Wildernesses, where they live slothful indigent Lives, and are lost to the Community, how much better might they live by im- proving the old Lands, settling Towns, and increas- ing our Manufactures ; this would be establishing more solid Wealth than Mines of Gold or Silver, or an extensive foreign Trade; Are not Spain and Por- tugal poor, tho' they are Masters of the Richest Mines in the World? And what advantage is Trade to us, while we export Provisions or raw materials, and import superfluities ?
