COWS. 



The dairy of cows must have plenty of grass 

 throughout this month, or their milk will be very apt 

 to fail. Lucerne, mown green, and given them in a 

 yard, is the most profitable way of feeding : the pro- 

 duel is so regular, that it is an easy matter to propor- 

 tion the dairy to the plantation, and never be under a 

 want of food ; for lucerne, mown every day regu- 

 larly, will carry them into October ; and, although 

 some persons have asserted that cows will not give 

 so much milk thus managed, as when they range 

 at large, and feed how and where they will, it is 

 not a matter of inquiry ; because, if they give less, 

 the quantity will pay more clear profit, than more in 

 the other case : there may be some inferiority ; but 

 the cows are kept on so small a quantity of land, that 

 there remains no comparison between the methods, 

 for profit. 



THE TEAMS. 



These must be kept at work. Wheat-sowing is 

 a business in which we usually stretch a point, 

 and make the ploughs do full work. Both horses 

 and oxen should be kept this month to lucerne, &c. 

 mown every day : they will work as well on it as 

 any other food ; but, while they plough, they must 

 have oats ami chaff with it ; for no grass at this 

 season of the year, is so nourishing as it was 

 the summer. 



MANURE GRASS. 



Dung should not be kept until it is rotten, that
