ular inquiries of the fervant who fed my cows, 

 1 learnt that feveral at one time feemed to 

 loathe their food, that in general they did not 

 appear to have very good appetites, and that 

 fome would not eat their grains for fome days 

 together. On my adopting the cuftom of turn- 

 ing them out for fix hours in the day-time, the 

 cows foon began to appear healthy and to fat- 

 ten apace, and were never off their appetite. 



With grains mixed with cut draw I have fed 

 cows to be very good beef; and have milked 

 them to the day on which they were killed* 



I have found it an excellent method to give 

 chopped ftraw to beafts with all kinds of rich 

 food ; as it is more pleafant to their palates, 

 makes them ruminate more, promotes a regu- 

 lar digeftion, and prevents the too quick paf- 

 fing of the moift or juicy food through the in- 

 terlines.
