STUD SHEEP.

MR L. T. McLEAN’S SALE.

(From Our Foilding Correspondent.)

There was an excellent attendance at the salo of Mr L. T. McLean’s stud Romney sheep which commenced in the Foilding A. and P. Aas-ociation’s pavilion this morning. Buyers were present from many outside districts, while local breeders were well represented.

Association took charge of the yarding of the stock and under the direction ot Mr N. P. Francis, its chairman, everything worked well. Very efficient assistance in this direction was lent by a squad of agricultural students from tho High School, an experience that will no doubt stund them in good stead in after years.
