 beft of any for the purpofe. 



Soon after the fatal diftemper amongft the 

 horned cattle, many calves were raifedwith por- 

 ridge of different kinds, without any mixture 

 of milk. My father, at the time of the con- 

 tagion, raifed one in that manner, which at the 

 age of fix years weighed one hundred and twen- 

 ty ftone.
