Average Cost of Feeding each Sheep, Nine to each Lot.

Food Consumed, Weight and Price of Wool, Weight and Price of Sheep, &c.

Although the second table has little connection, if any, with the main point aimed at the present trial not being conducted for profit merely, but more to test weights attained, and consumption of food required to obtain these still, putting a money value on this food may help to bring out results more clearly. It is therefore assumed that the prices are alike for each lot, and as near the actual prices of the different articles at the time of the trial-say, pasture-grass at £3 per acre; clover at 3d. per stone, making the proportion of one-third hay at 9d. per stone; turnips at 8s. per ton; mangolds at 12s. per ton; Indian corn at £8 per ton; oilcake at £11 per ton; oats at 22s. per quarter, 40 lbs. per bushel.-Scotland Agricultural Journal.
