This year, eight rams and twenty-two ewes were Sold. If the foot rot:had not untortunately damaged the rams very ma- terially, more of them would have been disposed of. Its, however, observable, that although the rams that are kept at Windzor;iin rich land, are occas:onally attacked by this ha- rasSINg/ diSease, the ewes and wethers that feed on the dry and hilly pastures ol Oatlands, have never been Subject to Lameness of any kind.|

Account of the fattening and ale of eleven wethers.

Rleven'wetheis that had been gent to the marshes, in order vo uy the effect of rich pasture in fattening Sheep of this breed; were slaughtered this year by Mr. King, of Newgate Market, Previous to the Smithfield meeting, which usually takes place the weck before Christmas.
