A VALUABLE BOOK.

The Agricultural Department Issues a Report on the Sheep Industry. WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—One of the most valuable publications ever issued by the government is a report on the sheep industry of the United States, prepared under the direction of the secretary of agriculture. It treats of the history and conditions of the industry from the early settlement of the country down to the present day and is handsomely illustrated. It bids fair to rival in popularity the work on the diseases of the horse published by the department some time since. It is for distribution by the secretary and through members of congress.
