Cultivation of Grafs-Land, Grazing. Hvrfcs-, 



tages are Hated in the following way by Mr. Price* but in confidering them prow 

 per Additions are to be made fortheadvances^that have taken place fince they were- 

 drawn up. They in fome meafure fliow the fyftem that is purfued in thefc rich 

 marfhes. 



In fome cafes the young horfes may be grazed upon the coarfer forts of paflures 

 with advantage; but in general, except under the breeding fyftem, it will be 

 more profitable to keep them on green food, cut frefh as it is wanted, during the 

 fummer feafon : the benefit in the way of manure is very great in this method.. 

 Some advife the grazing of young horfes in the fame paftures with the fattening 

 Hock, in order that the grafs may be more evenly fed down; but this is probably 

 a miftake; and as they are very apt to difturb and drive the cattle about, it may 

 be a better practice to let them follow the feeding ftock, or be put into a feparate 

 pafture. The fuperiority of eating down grafs-lands by fheep in comparifon to; 

 horfes was found very remarkable by Mr. Young, in Lincolnshire. In Somerfet- 

 Ihire, where any horfes are admitted on the grazing grounds, it is very fparingly, 

 not more than in the proportion of one to twenty acres. f,
