36. NORFOLK. 3^20 



This is a fortunate circumftance ro the Eaft- 

 Norfolk breeders, who draw an increafc qf 

 rearing-calyes from that quarter of the county : 

 whofe dairymen, in their turn, are benefited, 

 in being by this means enabled to get riddance 

 of their calves, at an early age ; jobbers mak- 

 ing it a bufinefs to transfer them from one iide 

 of the county to the other. 



By this means, and by buying up the calvqs 

 of cottagers, farmers, and gentlemen of the 

 neighbourhood, who do not rear their own, an 

 Eaft-Norfolk. breeder is able to rear a greater 

 number of calves than the pumber of his cows 

 amount to. 



Ten or twelve calves may, perhaps, be con- 

 fidered as the medial number reared at prefent, 

 on a farm of one hundred and fifty pounds to 

 two hundred pounds a year. 



In the neighbourhood of Norwich and Yar- 

 mouth, cow-keeping is frequently applied to 

 the Fatting of calves for the ped-markets 

 (fee Markets). 



Alfo, in the neighbourhood of thefe and 

 other towns, Butter becomes an objed of 

 fale.
