they know nothing of folding : my im« 

 prover mufl: a61t upon a different plan : he 

 mufl change the breed, feed l3etter in 

 winter, and fold all the year round. For 

 this purpofe, I would not recommend a 

 bringing another breed of flieep at once up- 

 on the moors, but on the contrary, to buy 

 a flock of moor ewes, and tups of a good 

 hardy nature and well made, thefe will im- 

 prove his (lock by degrees, and yet keep 

 them pretty nearly to their original hardi- 

 nefs, which is a point of confequence : in 

 winter let him feed them better than the 

 farmers ; which will make it anfwer to 

 fold in that feafon as well as fummer. 

 Folding will be an objeil: of vaft confe- 

 quence to him J for his liming, with this 

 affiftance, will form fuch grafs as has not 

 been of late {ncn in the moors. His firfl 

 flock fliall be icoo j the purchafe will be 

 6/. each and fifty guineas for tups. 



His liiied labour mufl be two men fer- 

 vants to go with the team : they muft be 

 ufed to plough with a pair of hories and 

 without a driver. I fliali reckon their 

 board and wages at ^^L alfo a fhepherd 

 at 20 /. a vear.
