. Sheep, their breeding and management. the Southdown wethers weighed682 ft)s, the Hampshire-Down lambs weighed 672ibs ; the former having only 10 ft)s per pen of three, or 3 J^ R)s each, to show for their twelve monthsfood ! Again ; we see by the table two Hampshire-Down lambs weighed as much as three Shropshires^and nearly as much as three Oxfords ! Lastly, the pen of three Hampshire-Down lambsexceeded in weight the pen of three Southdown ewes(3 years old) by 56 ft)s !! ! The difference betweenthe weight of the Hampshire-Downs and the South-downs I was prepared to see, bat I must confess Iwas astonished at the amazing superiority of theformer over the Shropshires and the Oxfords.Judging from my own past experience of sheep inthe state of fatness in which they made their appear-ance at the Smithfield Club Show, I believe I amnot wrong in taking 65 % of live weight as the weight of the four quarters ; which would make theirvalue in the London market, at present prices, ^7.6sterling, or $36.00 i. e. 1882 ! Most of my readers. know, by this time, that in the English markets^^11 cattle, &c. are sold by hand, and the price of — 5^ — mutton is so high now in that country, that a goodDown wether weighing, when slaughtered, 20 Sbs aquarter, is worth one shilling sterling a pound, or$20, as he stands. I have no hesitation in sayingthat as long as prices keep up to what they are now^jno more profitable system of farming can be offeredto the Canadian than the breeding and fatteningof sheep for exportation, if the sort of sheep suitedto the trade of the west-end of London be selected.Hampshire-Downs lambed in March, and modera-tely pushed from weaning, should weigh, by the timethe first boat leaves for England in the Spring, something like 12 stones, or 96 ft)s, and wouldbring in tli-e neighbourhood of twenty-four dollars, and there is only one secret in their managementin this country : rape^ rape^ rapc^ from the 20th ofJune to the end of the season.
