346 THE IMPROVED ART OF FARRIERY. 



viding of milk in general, or lor its different products, 

 or for its sale in different situations and places, it is a 

 practice also of prodigious utility and advantage,

 spring cabbage kinds, where they can be well grown, 

 beasts have been fattened in a very speedy manner,

 are, first, to raise a full quantity of artificial grass for 

 hay and aftermaths : secondly, to turn a large quan-

 bring it into suitable order and fit for raising the
