7 be Manure raifedin the Fiirm-Tard in the 

 IVinter 1772-3. 



I purfued the fame fyllem this year, as before, 

 except the cows and two horfes being for a fliort 

 time loofe in the yard, not tied up as before. The 

 quantity of earth carried in at different times was 

 115 loads, 30 of which were ditch fluff, the reft 

 turf from furrows ploughed in a meadow; confe- 

 quently excellent for a compoft. Befides this I 

 brought twelve waggon-loads of chalk, being a very 

 fine marie; but as fome of it was wet and heavy, I 

 do not reckon thefe loads to contain more than 

 three cart loads. 



A farther addition made to the heaps during the 

 winter, confifted of different manures brought from 

 London ; two waggon loads of afhes, (each 90 

 bufhels) four ditto of bones, (90 bufhels) one cart 

 load of bones, (36 bufhels) and five waggon loads 

 of night foil, (each 60 bufhels.) I conceived that 

 mixing thefe different bodies with my yard-dung, 

 as it was made, yvould very much enrich the whpjc 

 mafs.
