 calves and weaning them is extraordinary ; 

 for they never let any fuck above ten days 

 or a fortnight, whether for killing or wean- 

 ing, but in general only two or three days 

 for weaning, after which they are fed with 

 fivim-miik ; and numbers of oxen, even of 

 60, 70, or 100 ftone, are weaned almoft as 

 foon as born in this cheap manner, which, 

 in the fouth of England would be thought

 of the fummer's feed, will give about four 

 gallons of milk per day.

They reckon that 300 /. is fufheient to 

 ftock a fai m of ico /. a year, half grafs and
