Description
Excerpt from Sheep: Breeds and Management
There is genuine poetry in pastoral life which it would be sad to lose. Nevertheless, agricultural science and litera ture are between them rapidly taking the romance out of it. Perhaps we should add, hard times, and the vital im portance of making things pay. It is a pity to lose the faculty of discerning the beauty of the dewy eve and rising moon, or listening as the amorous thrush concludes his song; or only to think of the price of mutton and of wool, or of lambs as fore and hind quarters.
