4.1 AVING, in the preceding lection, explained the different methods of manage

 are chiefly applied to the purpofe of producing hay, \ve ihall now defcribe the 

 modes of practice which appear requifke in fuch as are almoft wholly appropriated 

 to the fupport of live (lock. 



Failure Lands. The grounds that are the moft perfectly adapted to this ufe 

 are, all thofe which have a confiderable depth of good mould, and at the fame time 

 that they afford a good herbage, are fo dry in their nature as to admit the animals 

 to feed upon them at almoft all feafons without injury by poaching. Coarfe rufhy 

 lands may, however, in many cafes, be converted into good paftures,by proper at 

 tention in draining, and cutting over the rulhes in the early part of the fpring, as 

 by this means the water enters their ftems and the plants decay, the young (hoots 

 being afterwards eaten by young (lock, arid the good grafs plants allowed to flou-

 that of the moory kind, confiding of much imperfectly reduced vegetable matter 

 proceeding from the leaves and roots of various decayed vegetable productions, 

 that require to be brought into a fuitable condition for the fupport of grafs plants
