this I believe to be more than retniinerated by the 

 manure saved. Again, the cows do not milk so well as 

 if turned out to good and free pasture ; but it will be re- 

 collected, the same number could not be maintained in 

 that course of procedure, and I estimate the quantity- 

 received at least equal to what it would be under such a 

 course. I may add, that sustenance is afforded upon the 

 farm for double the stock it could maintain a few years 

 since ; but at present, in common with my neighbours, 

 I am suffering from the prevailing drought, and see no 

 other prospect but very shortly being obliged to resort to 

 feeding for its support.
