SOILING OF CATTLE, 
Illustrated from Experience,

Containing suggestions which may be useful to Farmers 
By JOSIAH QUINCY. 
WITH A. MEMOIR OF THE AUTHOR, 
By EDWARD QUINCY. 
By a mistaken notion, that a considerable extent of land is 
requisite to enable a farmer to keep many head o cattle, a 
most wasteful proportion of it is sometimes retained for the 
sole put pose ot pasturage; and thus, compared with its in¬ 
herent productive power, made useless, 'fins little book 
cannot fail to be read with interest by many a farmer.
