 different parts of the Ifland. Their other 

 good quality is that of their pafturing freely : 

 not only upon the better grafles, but upon 

 fome of the more noxious weeds ; particu- 

 larly the dock. This is a property of fwine, 

 which is worth attending to by the breeders 

 pf this fpecies of live flock. 



The GENERAL MANAGEMENT of fwme in 



the Vale has likewife undergone a change. 

 Formerly the Wold pigs, which were not 

 fatted for home,confumpticn, were returned 

 to Maltpn, full-grown and flelhy, but not fat ; 

 and were there fold to drovers ; who bought 

 them up, probably, fcj the diftillers, ftarch- 

 makers, &c. of the metropolis. Now, the 

 furplus, which is much greater than former- 

 ly, are fatted, butchered, and fold, whole, to 

 bacon-rnakers ; who fait and dry them for the 

 London and Weil Yorklhire markets.
