One point of management of grafs, 

 tried here with great accuracy, is the feed- 

 ing off the eddifh clean. It has been af- 

 ferted by many, that it is moft advanta- 

 geous to leave much of it on the ground 

 to keep the young moots warm in the 

 fpring, and to rot as a manure ; this his 

 Lordfhip has tried on one field, and in 

 adjoining ones has fed it off quite bare with 

 Scotch beafts; the fucceeding year the crop 

 has regularly been the better after the parts 

 fed. Which refult has iince induced him 

 always to buy in a large drove of cattle to 

 feed through the winter, well convinced, 

 that one great benefit of improving lands 

 is the keeping a proportional ftock of 

 cattle ; which increafes with increafing im- 

 provement ; and moft certainly, the more 

 cattle the land maintains, the better they 

 will make it : A much clearer pofition than 

 .the idea of letting its product rot for ma- 

 nure.
