We reckon Cix horfes necefliiry for one hundred 

 acres of arable] and with two in a plough we till 

 two acres in a day 5 five or fix inches deep. Stub- 

 bles for fallow are ploughed in during autumn — • 

 this alfo deftroys the weeds. 



A good dairy-maid with us will take proper care 

 of twenty cows j and to every cow our beft farmers 

 keep one hog. 



The common mode of eflimating the expence of 

 takipag a farm Is, that three rents will about flock it, 

 or four very completely. 



In fome parts of this county confiderable quan- 

 tities of cole-feed are raifed^ we hand-hoe it like 

 turnips, and by that means nearly double the value 

 of the crop,* 



Our broad clover fometimes produces near three 

 tons the firft cutting per acre. Nonfuch, ray- 

 grafs, and fmall white clover, are an excellent mix- 

 ture to lay down dry lands with; and yield the 

 fweetefl hay. 



♦ An Eflcx Gentleman Informs us, that he fows cole-feed in drills, 

 one foot or fourteen inches apart ; and that by this method the largeft 

 quantity and the laeft feed are produced.
