at from 2os. to 305. a cwt. medium 253. The 

 dang is a confiderable profit ; he finds it be- 

 yond any other. He has given bran alfo to 

 fatting ftore cattle, having built flails for that 

 purpofe ; gives them hay till when near fat, 

 then leaves off the hay. His working horfes 

 are fed on bran entirely, no oats. 



Mr. Moore contracts for bifcuit, which he 

 bakes in large quantities, and bread for the 

 whole town of Clonmell. He has eight ovens 

 going for bifcuit. Starch he alfo makes large 

 quantities of. Adjoining his flour mill, he has 

 erected a rape mill, for making, oil ; the feed 

 is all raifed in the neighbourhood. The cake 

 fells at 485. a ton, and is exported, fome to 

 Holland, but moft to England for manure. 

 He has tried feeding beafts with it, but it will 

 not do at all : they would have died. This 

 fact has long been known in England. It is 

 the cake of lint feed that fattens. We have, 

 however, very florid writers of this age, who 

 fpeak of oxen fattening on rape cake as a com- 

 mon thing. 



Mr. Moore's hufbandry is alfo worthy of 

 confiderable notice. His principal attention 

 has been given to cattle; feventeen years ago 

 he imported Leicefterfhire rams, Northampton 

 ftallions, and a Craven bull from England, 

 and has at different times fince had bulls 

 from Bakewell and others, and has himfelf 

 fold yearling bull calves, from lol. to 30!. a 

 piece, and rams from jol. to 40!. Long ex-
