It will be noticed that none of the above balances are made on 

 the same plan. In the last we find a new item for water-cart 

 horse, which appears to have been omitted from the previous 

 calculations. Last year the clip-drum and anchor arrangement 

 was abandoned for the double-engine and windlass system, 

 Messrs. Fowler making the exchange on the payment of 800/. 

 9.9. 6fZ. The value of the new machinery complete as supplied 

 being about 1450/., credit was given for 650/. as the worth of the 

 apparatus, which four years before had cost 915/. The actual 

 depreciation, according to valuation, was thus 205/., our theo- 

 retical calculation beinj? 274/. 10s.

* In this year a great advance is made in the charge for scarifying, and, as much 

 of the land was worked twice over, we are inclined to regard the charge as too high ; 

 about 9s. would be fairer, and at that rate the loss would be considerably increased.
