Its Stock and Flock. 291 



generally entitle him in the neighbourhood. He 

 had imported from Mr. Bakewell some of that 

 gentleman's best long-horned stock, and had 

 bestowed great attention to their breed. At 

 present he is much occupied in the introduc- 

 tion of the Devon cattle. His South-down 

 flock does him great credit. I never saw a 

 better collection of ewes. Here are also some 

 merinos. The whole of the flock is generally 

 kept on the mountains during the summer. A 

 remarkably good breed of Suffolk draught 

 horses has likewise been introduced. 



The stock on the farm is so great, and the 

 cultivation of green crops so comparatively 

 small, that a prodigious quantity of hay from 

 the permanent pastures and meadows is col- 

 lected and required to carry them through the 

 winter. Mr. Wynne does not find it necessary 

 to employ his tillage land, of which he has but 

 a small quantity, in the growing of clover. 

 Wood of most descriptions grows most luxuri- 

 antly. The thinnings of the extensive planta- 

 tions, of which there is a weekly sale through 

 the year, make a considerable return. The firs 

 planted on the bog were growing very well, 

 especially where it was becoming dry and was 

 well sheltered.
