Breeders' Facts.
The profits of superior breeding have been exemplified (says the Melbourne Age) in the most definite manner by the results of Mr. Morton's sale at Skelsmerg Hall, and more recently that on the estate of Messrs' Robertson., Brothers, at Colac. Last year the surplus draft disposed of by Messrs. Robertson realized £12,000. This year the amount has been £20,607. There will be, it is itated, 3,000 head of fat stock sent to market in addition this season, which will average about £12 per head, giving as the gross incpme for the year upwards of £56,000.
