manufactured* Spanish wool unsorted, the whofe 
fleece taken together, spun and wove as the other,- 
gave cloth worth at least 18/. deduct 6/7 for the 
expense, leaves 11/5 per pound for the wool >and 
trouble; but if this was sorted and spun finer, a 
much greater profit would result from the manufac¬ 
turing of this wool. I shall order this experiment 
to be made the ensuing season.

N. B* I HAVE weighed my cloth, 15 yards 
weigh 9 lb. 9 ounces of the finest. I sent 15 lb. to 
be manufactured, so that the waste must have been 
uncommonly great, if all the cloth was returned ; 
7 4- yards of the common, spun equally fine, weight 
5 lb. 9 ounces. 
As the Annals of Agriculture are too expensive 
to be in many hands in America, I have extracted 
some articles relative to sheep, which the Society 
may think curious, and which may be considered 
as an appendix to what I have submitted to them 
on that subject.
