i ;o. TRAVELS THROUGH 

 landlord in writing, of entering a farm, 

 which I fhall infert, as it will give the 

 reader a good idea of the hufhandry of this 

 province, which is reckoned better cultiva- 

 ted than mod in France. The memoir is 

 not only confined to what was actually in 

 ene farm, but the expences neceflary for a 

 peafant to undertake fuch an one. The cul- 

 ture, in general, of the neighbourhood, he 

 informed me, though of the large fort, was 

 not the beft in the province ; yet they ufe 

 but two horfes in a plough, and reckon, 

 that one plough will till from fixty to fe- 

 v<nty acres, but the horfes are generally 

 fnall. They reckon it more beneficial to 

 enploy a plough with four horfes, than two 

 of two hcrfes each. The farmer enters a 

 fann ufually in November, and has the ufe 

 of all the ftraw and other forage fufficient 

 to carry his beafts through the winter till 

 Mirch, being himfelf to leave it in the fame 

 mainer at the end of his own leafe. I be- 

 3ie\e there is fomethingof this fort praclifed 

 in England. The expence of flocking his 

 farn will be as follows :
