Mr. Pitts, of Thorpe Abbots, is of opinion that cake 

 at lol. lOs. per ton, is a cheaper food than bean-meal at 

 14s. per coomb. He gives meal with turnips, but with 

 cake only cut hay. 



In Happing hundrcJ, some farmers feed with cake, but 

 the number not considerable; more do it in Fleg, but the 

 pra<Slice by no means general. 



Mr. Reptok, at Oxnead, feeds with cake, and has 

 used much linseed jelly: he has gone to 13I. 13s. per ton 

 for cake, but that price too high to answer, except in the 

 manure alone. 



]\Ir. Havers, at Thekon, has imported two bulls and 

 several Devon cows and heifers ; some are very beautiful, 

 and must be esteemed a well-chosen selejfhion ; he has 26 

 in all: rears all the calves. 



Mr. Francis, ofMartham, thinks that his own home- 

 breds do as well in grazing as Scots, but that it is different 

 with such as are bought — it is uncertain. He turnips 40 

 bullocks a year; half in the yard, and half abroad; but 

 the latter at home every night. 



SECT. II.-^SHEEP. 



Norfolk and SufFolk have for ages been in possession 

 of a breed of sheep, of which the farmers were (as they 

 generally are, whatever tiie breed) extremely proud; think- 

 ing that no other sort would suit their country. Ol this 

 breed, the distridl of Bury, in SufFolk, possessed the best. 

 They have often been described. I shall therefore only ob- 

 serve, that they are horned ; bear clothing wool, the 

 third in the kingdom for fineness: fleece, about 2ib. shape
