Woods and plaktations. 383 



Mr. Bevan, at Riddlesworth, has planted 966,000 

 which have, at present, a very flourishing appearance. 



Marquis Townshend has been long in the pradllcc 

 of feeding cattle, sheep and deer, with the trimmings and 

 thinnings of plantations: half an acre thickly planted thus 

 fed 35 bullocks, 20 cows, 7 young cattle, 200 sheep, 300 

 decv two weeks, with the assistance of three tons of hay, 

 at 4I. The browse saved seven tons, or 28I. Sheep arc 

 fond of the bark of Scotch dr and ash, as well as the trim- 

 mings of those trees, and it is a cure for tlic scour. The 

 stock prefer ash, Scotch fir, and oak ; but seem to dislfkc 

 beech, birch, spruce, fir, and larch.
