FEEDING CATTLE. 
In the west of the county, Mr. Smith, of Erdiston, 
keeps mostly Herefords: his dairy consists of a bull 
and twelve cows of that breed ; but he has long horn 
as Avellas Herefords for fatting ; he gives the summer’s 
grass, and sometimes stall feeds oxen.—See Farm 
Buildings, Chap. III. At the Ryd, Mr. Lechmere 
keeps a dairy of seven or eight very fine Yorkshire 
short horned cows ; and as many at the Sink, another 
farm near, of the same breed; butter and cheese is 
made for the family, and to spare. A very fine young 
bull of this breed is in his possession, hired for the sea- 
son at 30 guineas. Mr. Lechmere grass feeds and 
stall feeds here Yorkshire cattle, drawn from his own 
dairy, or bought of jobbers. At Timberden, his 
other farm, he feeds only Herefords. Mr. Terrett, at 
Severn End, (the occupation of the late Mr. Lechmere,) 
has a dairy of capital Herefords, and he grazes and fats 
principally Herefordshire oxen, but has some of other 
breeds. 
FEEDING CATTLE. • 
A good many cattle are fatted in this county, not 
only of its own produce, but bought in from Hereford¬ 
shire, South Wales, Shropshire, Staffordshire; and by 
means of jobbers, the short horned Yorkshire, and some 
Scots, and some from North Wales, are brought in ; a 
good many are drawn off from dairies, and very few 
sold out of the county otherwise than fat; the principal 
feeding is in the south and west of the county. 
Mr. Knight, of Lea Castle, Wolverley, who grows a 
considerable breadth of turnips, also stall-feeds a good
