 following the above method, will find himfelf 

 virtually poflefTed of double the quantity hepof-

 high price to aflift them in keeping a horfe, and, 

 from want of proper management, fuffer it to 

 he over-run with long grafs and weeds ; for, 

 were he to have the grafs mown and given to 

 hishorfe in the ftable or fold> the fame paddock 

 npight afford him food the year round, and per- 

 haps to a cow during the fummer.-^It may be 

 f^id, "A horfe will eat grafs a month fooner 

 than it will be ready to mow." That is true : 

 but if you only mow the firft year fo much grafs 

 in that field as the horfe has prefent occafion 

 for, and rnake hay of the remainder, you will 

 have fufficient to keep your horfe until the 

 grafs is ready .—Another objedion will be made 

 proba|)ly to this method : " It is not fo good for 

 a horft's f<re^ to ^er^ain in the ilable." There 

 is foipae weight attached to this objection ; but
