 You may obferve how far the Cuprimontani ex- 

 ceed all others in the management of hay, 

 and grafs, and the Gothlanders in relation to 

 cattle, and particularly fheep. 



You will have an opportunity of noting the 

 different ways in different places of ploughing, 

 manuring, harrowing, fowing, reaping, ga- 

 thering, drying, and threfhing, from whence 

 a prudent traveller may judge which way is 

 bell. 



It would be abfurd indeed to apply to our 

 lands forreign methods of hufbandry in everf

 fucceed fo well as our own. Yet i v/ill venture to 

 fay one could fcarcely travel a day in any of our 

 countries without learning fomething of ufe in 

 ceconomy. Many things that will occur, may 

 appear trifling at firft fight, which )et upon a 

 more mature conflderation, you will own may 

 be turned to very great advantage j fuch as 

 the various ways of cloathing, preparing vic- 

 tuals.
