APRIL. 



agree with them remarkably, being, as it were, hay 

 and grass in the same mouthful. I do not conceive 

 that it is possible to keep a full stock of sheep so 

 cheaply in April, by any < ther method as by this; 

 Tolerable rouen will carry ten ewes an acre, with 

 their lambs, through this whole month. Such 

 rouen may be worth, in autumn, 10s. or 12s. an 

 acre. In April it is worth 30s. or 40s. and if it 

 be a backward season, a farmer that has it would 

 not be tempted to sell it for much more. 



SHEEP IN WATKR MEADS. 

 The farmer who has a good breadth of these, 

 may depend absolutely on them. He wants "no- 

 thing else for sheep and lambs. 



SELL FAT SHEEP AND BEASTS. 

 Markets for beef and mutton, are usually as high 

 towards the end of April as at any other moment 

 in the year. At that period, the supply can come 

 only from corn or cake-fed beasts, for not one 

 farmer in a thousand has then any winter gi en- 

 food remaining. Any beasts really fat, are then 

 sure to sell well at Sinithfield. With sheep, the 

 case is rather different ; for spring food i* now 

 come to him who LS well provided, but not in such 

 plenty, on account of the number of bad managers, 

 as to lower the markets.
