Attendance — Sale, 57 



ATTENDANTS, according to its extent. My 

 poultry, rabbits, and bees, formerly , were well 

 attended by an aged labourer, with the oc- 

 casional assistance of his wife ; and the me- 

 ritorious couple thus made an easy and 

 comfortable living after a life of severe la- 

 bour, a circumstance to me, the source of 

 heartfelt satisfaction. The sale of our sur- 

 plus of this species of live stock, beside re- 

 paying all expences, and exclusive of a 

 most abundant and comfortable supply for 

 the household and for occasional presents, 

 rendered an annual profit by no means con- 

 temptible. We disposed of the surplus, for 

 the greater part, to a higgler in the vicinity, 

 who allowed us a certain advance upon his 

 common price, in consideration of the su- 

 perior goodness and condition of the stock.
