 protection for sheep against cold winds — nay, it may be used

 may be required ; the warp consisting of fine wire.

 say, proved to possess all the qualities necessary for the con-

 specimens of their valuable corn-mills, and capital horse-gear, 

 prie £10. Some objections are made to the great weight 

 emplo3'td to press down the feed; but as the choice lie 

 between two difficulties — the use, &c. of this weight, or un- 

 evenness of cut — we do not see that it is valid.
