OF THE COUNTY OF TYRONE. 35 



From feveral views I have taken in different parifhes, 

 I am dearly of opinion, that the number of perfons, or 

 rather the average to each houfe, is rather over than 

 under fix; but I (hall abide by that number, which 

 would make the whole of the inhabitants of the coun 

 ty equal to 172,224. 



"What remains to afcertain is, to (hew what quantity 

 of land is fufficient to fupply a family, confifting of fix 

 perfons, the year round. This, from repeated obfer- 

 vations in feveral parifhes, I have determined fuffi- 

 ciently accurate to anfwer our prefent purpofe. 



The cultivation, neceflary to fupport a family of the 

 above defcription (no matter whether part be children 

 or not, as children wafte food, and are fuppofed to be 

 equal to grown-up perfons), I ftate as follows: 



3 acres of oats ; - Quantity of feed, 60 ftone. 

 \ ditto, potatoes, - ditto, - 80 ditto 



f ditto, barley, - 'CfU'j ditto, - 8 ditto 

 4 ditto, flax, - ditto, - 15 gallons 



^ ditto, garden and haggard. 



4| total cultivation, which, multiplied by 28,704 

 houfes, gives, for land in cultivation, 129,168 



acres, of which the proportion is ;
