But twenty five years ago protection. We
got living prices for all sheep products We crossed
with better stock and continued doing so till our
focks became first class. Our 1eeces trebled In fine
ness and doubled in weight and price. Our mutton
became the best and much in demand that is
advanced in market rates 300 per cent; and its
petition forced beef and pork to advance In quality.
Our lambs were sought for at from IS to $40 head
increase Of from ten to twenty fold in returns. Our
ine big contened sheep required pokes, fences

still more costly shepherds. II paid 10 keep them
