382 MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURE. 



Statement of Horace Clark. 



The flock of sheep exhibited by me, ten in number, was 

 appraised at $50, or $5 per head, April 1, 1856, and I sub- 

 mit the following statement of their product for the present 

 year : — 



52 lbs. wool, sold at 40 cents, 

 12 lambs, sold at $3 per head, 



Cost of keeping one year, $1.50 per head, 

 Washing and shearing, 8 cents per head. 



Net profit, .... $41 00 



As these sheep are young, they will probably be worth as 

 much in April, 1857, as they were in April last, for which reason 



I have made no deduction in their estimated value, in the fore- 

 going statement.
