W HATEVER fuperiority of attention may formerly have been beftowed upon 

 other branches of hufbandry, there is fcarcely any that is of more importance to the 

 farmer, or which of late has undergone more improvement, than thai of Live Stock. 

 It was indeed to be expected, that in proportion as the means of its fupport be 

 came better underftood and more abundantly cultivated, ufeful changes and im 

 provements would take place in the nature, quality, and breeds of the different 

 animals that were to be kept, and ofcourfe a double advantage be obtained by the 

 farmer in the improvement of his land as well as flock. There is another circum- 

 flance that has alfo had considerable influence in promoting the increafe and im 

 provement of live flock, which is that of the vaflly increafed demand for the ani 

 mals, either in confequence of their great ufefulnefs in performing different forts of 

 labour, or for the purpofe of human food. 



But though much has been effected in different fituations in bringing different 

 kinds of live flock to a higher flate of perfection, much flill remains to be accom- 

 plifhed. It is probably, in general, far from having attained that flate to which 

 it is capable of being carried, by thofe farmers who have the knowledge of com 

 bining the befl and mofl appropriate breeds of cattle and other animals, with 

 their improvements in the cultivation of herbage, or the raifing of other forts of 

 green food for their fupporr. But to enter fully into the nature and explanation 

 of the befl and mofl certain modes of effecting fuch improvements in all forts of 

 live flock, a much larger collection of facts would feem to be neceffary than ha?
