HIS is a fort of management which is conftantly more or lefs connected with 

 grafs land, but which differs very confiderably in the different practices which 

 are purfued in bringing the animals to the proper ftates of fatnefs for which they 

 are defigned. 



Grazing There are particular fituations and kinds of grafs land on which this 

 fyftem of management may be had recourfe to with much more profit and fuccefs 

 than that of dairying. This is moftly the cafe in all thofe diftricts where the extent 

 of arable land is inconfiderable when compared with that which is in the ftate of 

 pa ft ure, and of courfe the value of grafs-produce but fmall in comparifon to that 

 of fattened animals. In all the tracts of grafs land that arc fufficiently fine and rich 

 enough in quality to fatten oxen or other large cattle, this practice may be adopted 

 and carried on with profit and advantage, and is probably the beft application of 

 fuch lands that can be attempted. This indeed is fully fhown by moft of the rich, 

 fine, marfhy,. or other tracts of grafs land in different parts of the kingdom being 

 u! moft invariably conducted under fome branch of the grazing fyftem. 



The fuccefs of this practice, like thofe of moft others employed in the art of 

 Jhufbandry, will depend on different circumftances ; as the fituation and quality of 

 the land, the accuracy of the management in regard to the method of flocking and 

 feeding it ; the nicety of the farmer s judgment in adapting the animals in nature, 

 fize and quality, to its particular condition ; and, above all, to his difcernment in 

 ielecting fuch ftock, of whatever kind it may be, as is perfectly healthy and difpofed 

 CQ fatten, as well as in obtaining it at fuch price as that it. may pay well for the
