Excerpt from The Philosophical Magazine, 1805, Vol. 21: Comprehending the Various Branches of Science, the Liberal and Fine Arts, Agriculture, Manufacture, and Commerce

Cultivation suffering very considerably by the trespasses of cattle, 'through the wilful neglect of the herdsmen, it is a matter of surprise that inclosures are so much neglected. For a reason already mentioned cattle cannot be left at night unattended: but, in the present practice, buffaloes only are grazed at night; cows and oxen are pastured in the day. For these, inclosures would be valuable. And even for buffaloes would not be useless; and the farmer would be well rewarded by suffering the cattle to fertilize all his arable lands, instead of restricting the use of manure to sugar-cane, mulberry, tobacco, poppy, &c.
