" I. must observe, that giving- my dairy cows the 

 parsnips, answered my purpose greatly, by increas- 

 ing their milk, and making the butter much richer 

 and finer than turnips or carrots', which I had given 

 them long before. The manner in which I* gave' 

 the parsnips was, cutting them in pieces. 



" Finding the parsnips agree with my hogs and 

 cows so well last year, I now determined to give 

 them to my horses ; and having five that were 

 making up for sale, I began with them by giving 

 them a very few the first week. I observed then 

 that they agreed with them extremely well, and I 

 therefore gave them a larger quantity, which made 

 them thrive very fast, and determined the to con- 

 tinue giving them the parsnips, which saved me a 

 great deal of hay, as I found they had occasion for 

 very little of it. I kept them in this manner for 

 ten weeks, when I sent them to Mr. Bever's repo- 

 sitory, where they were sold for 40 guineas eacli 

 horse. /The manner in which I gave, them the 

 parsnips was, cutting them in small pieces and 

 throwing them into the manger. I calculate the 

 return half a guinea per week for the parsnips for 

 each horse, which amounts to 261. 5s. to be carried 

 to the account of the parsnips for this year. 



" At. the same time I began fattening an OK, 

 which cost me 4l. 10s. from the plough. He was 

 13 weeks in fattening, and ate nothing but parsnips 

 the whole time. I then sold him to Job Spra'tley, a 

 butcher at Gnildford, for 2s. 8d. per stone, weigh- 

 ing J02 stone 61b. which amounted to J3l. Ms. 4cL
