Text Appearing Before Image:
the Man-chester Exhibition of the Royal Agricultural Society so longago as 1869, and was able to describe them from life in thefollowing words : Both sexes horned, face and legs white,wool firm, intermediate in length, and inclining to the characterof short rather than of long wool. Mr. Parkers flock cHp onan average ylbs. each sheep. Mr. Parker rears and feedsup his wether lambs entirely on the inland ground, andraises them to from 18 to 22lbs. per quarter at twenty monthsold.
