And in order to make the compoft the better, 

 the flowings of the yard were partly prevented from 

 running off, by being in one place kept a foot 

 deep, from which they were very often thrown up 

 on the compoft with a water bowl. This liquid 

 was the better from my penning thirty wether Iheep 

 every night on fern in a corner of the yard ; but 

 this dung was not removed till the flieep were in 

 May begun to be fattened. 



The cows were fed on cabbages and ftraw, and I 

 the lean hogs on cabbages alone. ^
