In the north of England the farmers make 

 their cattle eat almoft every blade of their 

 ftraw, fo that they have fcarcely any left to lit- 

 ter their flails with. Give a Yorkshire and a 

 Norfolk farmer equal quantities of flraw, the 

 Yorkmireman would keep more cattle, and 

 carry out his dung at a lefs expence ; whilft 

 the Norfolkman would make more muck. 

 But quere, Whether is the manure better or 

 worfe ? and quere, Which of the two, upon the 

 whole, is the better management ? 



Much perhaps may depend on the quality of 

 the foil to be manured, A large quantity of 

 long dung would, perhaps, for fliffcold land, 

 be better than a fmaller quantity of fhort. But 

 perhaps, for zloamy foil, fliort dung is the beft.
