 bullocks always ftand clean to feed, while the 

 urine fettles down among the ilraw in the 

 lower parts of the yard. 



The pofts which fupport the manger run 

 up fence-height, and have a fingle rail pafiing 

 from one to another, to prevent the bullocks 

 from clambering over the troughs. (A fried 

 under which the bullocks could feed and lie 

 down warm and comfortable in rainy cold 

 weather, would be a great improvement to 

 this yard).

 F. mows off the tops with a fithe, giving 

 thefe alone to his fatting bullocks ; while his 

 cows and lean flock have the bottoms given 

 them entire. This judicious management has 

 two good effe&s : the bullocks inftead of re- 

 ceiving a check, as they are apt to do, when 

 turneps are in this ftate, are puflied on, per- 

 haps, fafter than when the bottoms are in full 

 perfection; and the flock-cattle, by not having 

 had a tafte of the tops, eat up the bottoms the 

 cleaner.
