Mr. Dixon Hoste's are between the Suffolk and thfl 

 polled Scotch ; came originally from the Duke of Graf- 

 Ton's ; thev milk very well ; 12 were in August, fatting 

 twolarge calves, supplying the family with milkaml cream, 

 and giving 6olb. of butter per week. 



About Attleborough, Hingham, and Walton, there 

 are many dairies, but fewer cows tlian formerly : as the 

 farmers have changed their system to grazing, there is 

 some good fattening land all through that country. 



Mr. Coke, at Holkham, has had many breeds; and 

 tie was once almost exclusively addi6led to long horns. 

 Some of Fowler's stock are now at Holkham : he has 

 jnany Devons. 



Mr. PuRDis,of Eggmore, Imported from Devonshire^ 

 in 1802, above 40 cows and heifers, and two bulls of 

 the true North Devon breed, from Mr. Pester. I 

 viewed them with pleasure, and also 16 oxen of the same 

 breed, which were ploughing for turnips. He works 

 four to a plough, in yokes and bows; they moved fully as 

 fast as the horses at plough in the same field. This gen- 

 tleman was before in the long-horned breed, of which he 

 exhibited two cows at Holkham ; but the part of his stock 

 "which most attraifled notice was a Galloway heifer, of a 

 most beautiful form ; of a singular disposition to fatten ; 

 much admired by every one who examined her. 



Mr. BiRCHAM, at HackforJ, buys his bullocks in 

 06lober, and puts them to turnips directly, thrown on the 

 ollonds, but the beasts brought home at night to straw ; 

 continues thus to Lady Day ; if turnips be done, he puts 

 them to hav and oil-cake, or ground pease or barley ; and he 

 reckons that cake at 81. or 9I. per ton, Is equal to pease at 

 1 6s. per coomb : he has fed with cake when it was at 13I. 

 per ton. His son at Reepham, on 300 acres, keeps 40 

 bullocks, and 100 to 150 sheep.
