I have many years fold the crreateft part of my 

 crops for feven fhillings per fack of three bufliels; 

 thus the one hundred and twenty facks would 

 amount to forty-two pounds; but they are now lb 

 much cultivated, that to make a fair, and what may 

 be termed a fure eftimate, they Ihould be valued 

 only as applicable to the feeding and fattening of 

 cattle. I am convinced from experience, that they 

 arc worth three Ihillings per fack for thofe purpo- 

 fes, ancj then the produce would amount to eighteen 

 pounds per acre. They are excellent food for 

 hogs; roafting pork is never fo moift and delicate 

 as when fed with potatoes, and killed from the 

 barn-doors without any confinement. For bacon 

 and hams, two buftiels of pea-meal ftiould be well 

 incorporated with four bufiiels of boiled potatoes, 

 which quantity will fat a hog of twelve Hone, 

 (fourteen pounds to the ftone.) Cows are particu- 

 larly fond of them : half a buftiel at night, and 

 the fame proportion in the morning, with a fmall 

 quantity of hay, is fufficient to keep three cows 

 in full milk; they will yield as much and as fweet 

 butter as the beft grafs. 



In fattening cattle, I allow them all they will eatj 

 a bead of about thiry-five ftone will require a
