or Pasture-Land, is that reserved for feeding cattle.

Pasture-land is of such advantage to husbandry, that many prefer it even to corn-land, because of the small hazard and labour that attends it; and as it lays the foundation for most of the profit that is expected from the arable land, because of the manure afforded by the cattle which are fed upon it. Where dung is not to be bought, as is often the case in places distant from large towns, the farmer is forced to proportion the arable to the pasture land, in such a manner, that the cattle fed on the latter may be sufficient for a supply of dung so necessary for producing the fruits of the former.
