time of the year ; while fnch as are forward 

 'enough to be finished with turners, or with the 

 addition of a little fpring-grafs, fo as to be 

 got early to market, fetch aftonifhing prices. 

 Witncfs the forward cattle to-day, and the bul- 

 locks at St, Faith's. 



The reafon is this : A farmer has fo many 

 more acres of turneps than he wants for his 

 prcfcnt ftock ; he mud therefore either run 

 the rifque of felling his turneps, or buy ftock 

 which he can finifli in the fpring, oiherwife he 

 will be ovcrftocked the next year. 



It is obfervable that the heifers (of the nine 

 above-mentioned) are forwarder than the fleers; 

 infomuch that thepurchafer hopes to finiih them 

 with turneps ; but the fleers he expects will 

 require fome grafs at the fpring of the year. 

 It was an obfervation made, and agreed to, 

 that the grazing - grounds about Foulfham 

 (where thefe came from) fatten heifers fafler 

 than they do fleers. In corroboration, a by- 

 ftander faid, that he this year fent a parcel 

 of young ftock to thefe grounds ; the heifers 

 came home almoft meat, the fleers little better 

 than when they went. 



This, if a fad, is highly interefting.
