Sheep will fatten on many foils that yet are 

 not congenial to the growth of wool; the wool

SECTION XXXII. 



The great Ufe of breeding Sheep to fuit different 

 Soils -, with Rules drawn from Experience how 

 to breed the Sort required.

 fheep fuits almoft all foils, and will profper 

 wherever there is any thing to eat. It has been 

 generally faid, the Difhley fneep did not pro-

 Northumberland ewe, that when five months 

 old, weighed twenty pounds per quarter, and 

 altogether fetched forty fhillings. This lamb 

 was killed in the month of September.
