Though the produce of cheese in comparison with the general 

 produce of the country is small, it must not be supposed tint the 

 deficiency arose from any want of food, but principally from the 

 cows being young and of a small breed. 



The last species of soil is the turf bog. The surface of this soil 

 is of a light, spongy, tough texture, full of the fibrous roots of 

 plant?, and withal so matted together, that a spade or knife must 

 be made very keen to penetrate it. Immediately under the turf or 

 sward is found a vein of black moory sand, so unlike in its nature 

 to the peat which lies underneath, that when cut with it and dried, 

 it will fall off and separate from it. This mould is of good quality, 

 and will bear both natural and artificial grass in great abundance. 

 It is also an excellent manure for clay or any other heavy land ; 

 this black moory stratum is from one to two feet in thickness, and 

 underneath is found the peat, which is from three to fifteen feet in 

 depth.
