OLTII, SEPT. IG.
An interesting paper from Lord Streeter!.r.a, un
the relative value of different breeds of sheep, was
yesterday read at the Meeting of the Bath Agri-
cultural Society, won she 11th inst. the substance
cf which is as follows:
" In the year 1300. Lord Someav Lt.& ex-
changed his flock, consisting entirely of the lnng-
woolled sort (as he found them annually dege-
nerating, and becoming less profitable), for "..)
Breland ewes, to which, in the following year, he
added some South-down ewes, and some rams and
ewes the Merino breed, that he brought from
Spain. These rams, in each subsequent year, have
been, and now continue to be, put to ewes of the
South-down and Ryeland breed ; from each of
which crosses cn valuable species of sheep has been
obta;red, bath in fleece and carcase; the value of
which has been thul detailed by his Lordship:—
" The South-down store ewes at 31b. per fleece.
, and at 11. p. a. lb. will pay 3s. ed. per fleece,
which, at tit per acre in good upland pasture for
seven months, and five months in turnips, at 14
or 15 per acre, will pay 38s. or 40s. per acre.
Ryeland store ewes 'SI lb. per fleece, at 2s. CI
per lb. untrinded, nine sheep per acre, and turnips
as above, will pay 21. 3s. 101 d. per acre.
South-down and Meth.° ewes of the halt breed,
at 4 lb. per fleece, clean washed, and 35. per lb.
will amount to 12s. per fleece, which, at 71 per acre
for seven months, amount to 41. 10s. per acre for the
pasture Luld, with turnips as above, for winter keep.
66 Ryeland and Merino ewes of the ball blood, at
10 per acre for seven months, and wrnips as above,
at 3i lb. per fleece, and 3s. 24.1. per lb. amounts to.
61. 10s. 3d. per acre.
o The pure Merinn fleeces have never sold at.
less than one guinea each ; the average weight of
which has been mete than tilb. each in the yolk;
and on the above allowance of pasture for oven
months, and turnips as above in aid of that pas-
ture, the return will amount to ten guineas per acre.
" *the flock has been kept on 188 acres of land',
besides the run of 33 acres of turnips; but it is to Le
observed that in the same round 16 plough oxen
occasionally, but 12 constantly, were deparaured till
the after-grass : to this is to be added the run of
yearling calves, and a large stock of pig! ; amid that
the green crops of the spring and summer 1403,
were unman:ally deficient in these distrids. The
sheep stock amounted to 502 lambs, 783 store sheep;
total 10:15. The produce is as.f3llows s

" N.B. No sheep have ever been kept fattening
older than tour-teeth.--= the tat sheep were all sold
atter being sheered; and the price of mutton, from
the deficiency of keep, was not more than
par lh. at one pan of the se.sson."
