A TREATISE ON THE CONNECTION OF 



sons for continuing such lands in pasture, viz, the difTi- 

 cnlty, from the softness of the soil, of conveying dung 

 from the farm-yard to the fields; and likewise, the ten- 

 dency which such soils have, by exposure to air, to be- 

 come oxygenated, and consequently incapable of yielding 

 the food requisite for the su^jport of vegetables, 



in the mode of stocking such pastures, it is furtlrei" 

 recommended to keep the fat, the half fed cattle, and 

 ihe lean or young stock, in different inclosures, as is the 

 pradice in Ireland, and where grazing is well understood 

 in England. The fat cattle should only top the grass, the 

 half fed should succeed those, and lastly, the lean or 

 store cattle should follow on the same pasture, and eat 

 the herbage close down ; repeating this pradice as often 

 as the fresh growth of grass will permit.
