LORD TOUUTKCtTO^'s PRTZE OX. 



My recoTnmendations, being in their nature practical, 

 simple, and applicable to every grade of farmer, are constantly 

 adopted. The most gratifying accounts are daily forwarded 

 to Trimingham from various parts of the kingdom. While

 preparation."

 compound is now so generally adopted 3 but it ought to be re- 

 membered, that this letter will be read hy many landowners, 

 who may be induced by his lordship's example to prefer the 

 •produce of their own estates to that of foreigners, and by many 

 occupiers, who think there is no virtue in any thing but foreign 

 oil-cake. In fact, nothing is required but the united deter-
