THE CULTIVATOR. 
Nov. 
and one of those, a shearling, made 41 guineas. There 
were also 41 sold; the average of the whole 45amount¬ 
ing to 15/. 12s. 8d. per head. 
It seems to be the opinion of many in England, that 
for weight and value of fleece, early maturity, and quan¬ 
tity and quality of meat, combined, no breed is more 
profitable than this. 
One of the plates of the Farmers Magazine for Sep¬ 
tember, represents three beautiful Leicester rams bred 
by Mr. Robert Smith, of Burley-on-the-Hill, Rutland. 
The drawings appear to have been taken just after the 
gheep were shorn, and therefore exhibit their true form, 
undisguised by wool. One of the three whose portraits 
are given was sold to Mr. Bennett, of Bedfordshire, 
for £120. The three engraved portraits were taken 
from a group of seven which had been painted for Mr. 
Smith, which sold, in the aggregate, for 700 guineas. 
Sixty of his rams sold in September, 1845, at an ave¬ 
rage of 19 guineas each. Mr. S., it is stated, has re¬ 
ceived at least 50 premiums by this flock, from various 
agricultural meetings.
