Cattle WoolWinter Food. 



THE cattle in Ireland are much better than the tillage ; 

 in the management of the arable ground the Irilh are five 

 centuries behind the beft cultivated or the Englifli counties, 

 but the moilture of the climate, and the richnefs of the foil,, 

 have reared, affifted with importations from England, a breed of 

 cattle and fheep, though not equal to ours, yet not fo many 

 degrees below them as might be expefled from other circum- 

 ftances. The following table will ilxew the prices and profit 

 on fattening bullocks and cows. 



The fy item purfued in fattirg thefe beafts is explained fully 

 In the minutes of the journey. I think the profit remarkablf 

 Imall. The exportation of beef, and its prices, wil! be given 

 under the article 7VW<? f as it forms a principal branch of the 

 commerce of \\ eland.
