NOV.] SALT FOR SHEEP. 523 



the land be gentle a-head of six or eight feet depth, 

 will in some cases float many acres with water. The 

 expence, including every thing, may he reckoned at 

 from Is. to Is. 6d. per cubical yard of the head. The 

 late Mr. Bakevvell thought, that water well managed 

 would pay better than any grass : it must of course 

 depend on the price and demand fur fish. 



SA^T FOR SHEEP. 



If the land of a farm he wet or moist, or otherwise 

 unfavourable to sheep, the evil may be considerably 

 remedied by the practice of giving salt in shallow 

 troughs : they should have as much as they will eat, 

 the quantity being very sip all, though they are ex- 

 ceedingly fond of it, little as they take.
