 fully looked after, they will maintain forty- 

 head of cattle and horfes in fummer, with the 

 afiidanceof chopped draw, as before defcribed: 

 and the farmer will have one hundred and 

 twenty acres of draw, clover, Sec. where he

 horfes in the fold, winter and fummer, not to

 mended is too rich for breeding dock, if the 

 farmer keeps fix cows, as before mentioned, 

 he will want twenty-fix feeding beads, which 

 may average at five guineas each; but much 



more
