ROXWELL, SHALLOW BOWELLS, and NORTON 

 MANDEVILLE ; the foil and fubftratum will admit of one 

 general defcription, agreeing principally with thar of Chaw- 

 reth or Broxted. A greater intermixture of foil of a more 

 temperate nature, and better fuited to the culture of the an- 

 nual and perpetual gralTes is found to prevail through the pa- 

 riflies of BLACKMOOk and FRIERNING, and may ge- 

 nerally be referred to the temperament of the fixth diftri£l, 

 and containing a larger proportion of grafs land than what 

 is ufually found through this diftri6l ; the moft univerfal huf- 

 bandry of which ig, to fallow the wheat ftubbles for barley, 

 and the barley ftubbles for wheat. Upon about one-twentieth 

 part of the barley land clover is fown, i61bs. to the acre; 

 lies one fummer and is fucceeded with wheat upon once 

 ploughing. The fmall portion of manure afforded through this 

 diftridt is very induftrioufly colle6led and applied upon the 

 fallows for wheat or barley, and fometimes (though but 

 rarely) for beans. The refult, according to the index table is 



23 bufhels I peck of Wheat 



32 bufhels I ditto of Barley 



35 bufhels of Oats 



17 bufhels 2 ditto of Peas 



22 bufliels 2 ditto of Beans per acre 



The average table alfo fhews that the arable land through 

 this diftridl is 13s. 4d. per acre. That the pafture of the 

 firft quality are 20s. of the fecond quality 13s. 9d. and of 

 the moft inferior quality 7s. 2d. per acre. That where the 

 ploughed and grafs lands are let together, and without dif- 

 tindlion of price, the farms average 13s. lod. per acre. 

 That the undergrowth of the woods is cut once in fourteen 

 years, and that it fells at the ftub for 9I. per acre. That 

 there are 300 acres of improveable wafte or common, which 

 by inclofure, may be augmented in its annual value 15s. per 

 acre. That the compofition at this time paid for the great and
