The cheaper! food in fummer upon good 

 land is grafs, although not the mod fattening. 

 Good feeds fatten them quicker upon mode- 

 rately good foils, fuch as do not carry more 

 fheep than can thereon do well -, for it often 

 happens that upon too luxuriant land fheep 

 thrive but indifferently, by their being fuch 

 numbers feeding on it until it actually ftinks 

 of them. 



Great advantage would arife from feeding 

 fheep in the fummer on green food, in the 

 fame manner as is defcribed for horfes, beads, 

 &c. Green tares and cabbages, &c. would be 

 very quick-fattening and cheap food*
