JOEL HAYWARD'S STATEMENT. 



The sheep which are here presented for the Society's 

 premium, are a part of my flock of twenty six, all owned 

 and kept by me the past year. The flock is composed 

 of a mixture of Blood, viz : Leicester, Costwold and 

 Native. They have reared the past season thirty lambs, 

 which were sold for $4,00 per head; they have also 

 sheared 115 lbs. of wool, which we sold for 37 i cents 

 per pound, making in all $163,12. 



They are kept in winter upon English hay entirely, 

 until about the 1st of April, (at which time they usually 

 drop their lambs,) they are then fed some roots or oil 

 meal; they are turned to pasture about the 1st of May, 

 as the weather may be, and are .seldom taken out until 

 snow comes.
