cultnre at all, which, indeed, is rather highly rated. 

 Lands of this defcription, after being laid down, let 

 from two to four guineas an acre for meadow. 



In neighbourhoods thickly inhabited, as this is, there 

 can be no doubt of being able to procure people fuffi- 

 ciently numerons to fow potatoes every feafon upon a 

 large fcale -, and had this mode been adopted twenty 

 years ago, about the time of the commencement of lay- 

 ing down the grounds, many pounds would have been 

 faved to Lord Mounrjoy. 



In larrds of the foregoing defcription, thi3 mode is 

 the 'cheapeft, and moft effectual to bring them into a 

 profitable flaie. Even in the yery beft foils, I am con- 

 fident that the taking off two fucceflive crops of pota- 

 toes will always be found the beft economy, both for 

 the proprietor, and the community at large. If this 

 fyftem was fully and univerfally eftabliftied, there could 

 fcarcely be any danger of the poor fnffering, or expe- 

 riencing the like diftrefs they underwent in the years 

 1800, and 1801; nor could the country be overftocked 

 with potatoes at any time, if the feeding of cattle with 

 them were more univerfally adopted. If the poor man 

 had fix or eight barrels of potatoes to fpare, from the 

 ftock generally allowed for his family, how better 

 could they be applied, than for the fupport of his cow, 

 and efpecially in thofe parts, where fodder is moft 

 commonly very fcarce ?
