choice from Herefordfhire, Wales and Somerfet- 
fhire ; of thefe, the Glamorgan and Somerfet appear 
moft eligible as working cattle for the hills, being 
active in harnefs, and when turned off, feeding in 
lefs time than the larger breed of Herefordthire. 
In ftall-feeding, hay, chaff, barleymeal, oats and 
bran,* are the articles of food chiefly ufed. The 
fmaller Welch breeds of cattle, where grazing is the’ 
only object, are frequently bought in in winter or 
early in fpring, and fatted in the courfe of the 
fummer, fo as to go off between Michaelmas and

jection to the fteet mills hitherto invented, is, that the corn muft be 
in the very beft order, otherwife it clogs and will not grind properly. 
To make a machine of this fort complete and generally ufeful, 
there muft probably be fome ingenious contrivance to dry and har- 
den the corn if neceflary. . ‘
