 were the north four pens east of the alley. Lot 1 was farther 

 north, the lots being- numbered consecutively towards the south.

 out of the pens, which afforded only a trifle over 7 square feet pe 

 lamb. Although these range lambs had previously been accu 

 tomed to an abundance of outdoor exercise, they seemed to suffe 

 no inconvenience from the close confinement.
