 extremely well. For, although they were 

 bought-in on very high terms, they will, if they 

 meet with a fair market, nearly double their

 conducted. They have had plenty of turneps 

 and a " clean trencher" every day ; with plenty 

 of followers to lick up the crumbs ; fo that 

 the fatting bullocks only picked and chofe the 

 prime of the turneps : and in this feems to con- 

 iift the excellency of the management. For 

 thefe heifers were fatted abroad, where they 

 remained night and day; with ftraw fcattered 

 under the hedge. Toward the fpring, however, 

 when the turneps began to lole their goodnels^ 

 they had bay inftead of flraw.

 J$. is very judicious; for the bullocks are
