slieep The coTnmbh Sheep gave 3 lb.‘ each^ 
wbrth hi Erigland 3/. sterlings or one shilling a 
pound. The keep and food of hiy sheep Was the 
same ; these different faces rml together,' Wihtef 
and sumitier. 
One hundred Spanish sheep would then pay fdf 
the keep; exclusive of lambs, IG d 
sterling, if half ewes. ... 
One hundred three-quarters, if all ewes, 55 00 0 
One hundred half bred sheep, 40 12 6 
One hundred good common sheep, 15 00 0 
So that every farmer, who keeps common sheep, 
when he might have half bred Spanish, looses 
£25 12 6 steriiiig a year upon one hundred ^lieep, 
besides the great difference between the value of th^ 
Iambs, till the country is fully supplied, which it 
will nbt be in tnanj?' year^. It is true the cafciiiatidh 
on the full bred Spanish sheep fnay be taken too 
high, from my counting two rams with the five Sheep, 
which gave the one 6 ^ lb. the other 5 j lb. of wool, 
but then the ewes Were tWo of them very old, and 
had three lambs. If therefore the flock Were td 
consist of one half tvethers the calculation wouid 
be about right. 
I HAVE made another comparative experiment, to 
ascertain the value of the wool, if manufactured here. 
Common wool afforded me cloth worth about 10 £ 
a yard, and a pound of wool makes nearly a yard 
of cloth, the expence of manufacturing is 6/7, this 
leaves 3/5 for the wool and trouble of getting it
