Three hundred of these he culled out, and, bringing them to Stratford, sold for 7/ apiece. From the remaining 400 he got about 00 per cent of lambs, which, after having been shorn, were quitted at 12/. Their dams shore an average of 81b, and were subsequently fattened and disposed of at 11/o, whilst the 10 per cent of dry ewes were shorn and turned off at 19/6. A little calculation will be sufficient to show that on an investment of £175 a profit of £493 10/ was made, and this inside twelve months!
