Tables XYII, XVIII, XIX and XX give the records of weights, 

 dressed weight, loss in dressing, age in days of the Grade Shrop- 

 shires and Dorset lambs, slaughtered in 1893 and 1894. It will be 

 noticed that the Dorset lambs were slaughtered at a somewhat 

 younger age than were the Shropshires and that their weight dressed 

 was also a little greater than that of the Shropshires. Practically 

 there was no difference in the amount which these two breeds lost 

 in weight by dressing.
