and cabbages, and, in default of the latter, on tur- 

 nips-; but cabbages are superior. Let them have 

 hay or good straw always in their racks. 



COWS. 



*fte dairy of cows, supposing the system of the 

 farm to be field -feeding, are now to be taken into 

 live yard, where their food must vary according to 

 their state : the dry ones mw-t be put to c'ut chaff, 

 and those in milk in another yard, to cabbages, 

 which are found, on experience, to give no disa- 

 greeable taste to the milk; but good chaff must be 

 given with them. Young cattle should be put 

 with the cows in mirk, as they cannot be kept too 

 well. On no account let any of these cattle out of 

 the yards: they only poach and damage the grass 

 fields. And let it be remembered, that the grass 

 now to be had in meadows and pastures, suitable to 

 kept rouen, is of far greater value for sheep in more 

 pitching seasons, 



Such cattle as have been in the yard or sheds, 

 and supported by soiling, may now have their food 

 gradually changed to dry meat, roots, or cabbage^ 



FATTING BEASTS. 



This is the proper time to take the large flitting 

 oxen, that have had the summer's grass, and put 

 them to turnips, cabbages, or carrots: turnips with 

 cut chail" will do ; but not near so well as cabbages 

 or carrots; both which will fat a large ox as well a* 

 any food, You may either stall-feed them under 



cover^
