System. Selling all off. Being within five 

 miles of Newcastle-on-Tyne, all produce of 1st class 

 quality in put on the market, and only a few, say 

 10 grazing beasts, kept to use np waste and surplus 

 turnips. Manure is led daily from the town and 

 deposited at convenient middens for fields next 

 on turn. 



Tbe war has upSHt this system, as manure is not 

 procurable in sufficient quantity. I am now returning 

 to tba stocking and feeding system.

Last year was under my usual system of selling 

 off, but tbe farm has suffered for lack of manure. 

 I was unable to change the system until this coming 

 winter owing to war difficulties. 



This latter system in much less profitable.
