tdined a plentiful crop of them; to afcertaiin thtf 

 value of which, I need only inform you, that on the 

 23d day of April lad, having then two acres left of 

 my crop, found, and in great perfeftion, I divided 

 them by fold hurdles into three parts of nearly equal 

 dimenfions. Into the firft part I put twenty-four 

 fmall bullocks of about thirty ftone weight each, 

 (141b. to the ftone) and thirty middle-fized fat 

 wethers, which, at the end of the firft week, after 

 they had eaten down the greater part of the leaves, 

 and fome part of the roots, I ftiifted into the fe- 

 cond divifion, and then put feventy lean ftieep into 

 what was left of the firft; thefe fed off the re- 

 mainder of the turnips left by the fat ftock; and 

 fo they were ftiifted through the three divifions, 

 the lean ftock following the fat as they wanted 

 food, until the whole was confumed. 



The twenty-four bullocks, and thirty fat we- 

 thers, continued in the turnips until the 21ft of 

 May, being exadtly four weeks; and the feventy 

 lean fheep until the 29th, which is one day over 

 four weeks : fo that the two acres kept me twenty- 

 four fmall bullocks, and one hundred and ten ftieep, 

 four weeks, not reckoning the overplus day of 

 keeping the lean ftieep: The value, at the rate of 

 keeping at that feafon, cannot be eftimated in any 

 common year at Icfs than four-pence a week for 



each
