Potatoes will fhrink in pit between the months 

 November and March, about one fack in twenty: 

 when pitted, I allow in my calculation of the quan- 

 tity there depofited after that proportion. 



I am now proceeding in a courfe of experiments 

 to afcertain the value of potatoes as a food for 

 horfes, cows, fatting oxen, and fheep; which fhall in 

 due time be laid before the Society, Ihould they 

 think it worthy their notice. 



I am. Gentlemen, your's, &cc,
