The following is a brief recapitulation of tlie points whicli it 
has been the object of this paper to establish : — 
1st. That bullocks purchased lean for the purpose of fatting 
leave a greater deficit in the balance-sheet than the worth of the 
manure made will compensate, when corn is at present prices. 
2nd. That bullocks may be steadily and economically reared 
and fed so as to avoid a loss, and gain the benefit of the manure.
