 and returned by another road to Newmarket, being engaged 



to dine in the neighbourhood with Mr H , who once 



farmed in the north of England, and has been several years 

 in his present farm, which he rents. He manages 120 acres 

 of cleared land, free from stumps, and none of it in pasturage, 

 with two horses and two oxen. The potatoes and turnips were 

 drilled, and howed in good style. Cattle and sheep are fatted, 

 and, in common with those in almost all parts of America,
