7. Different in various parts of the pariQi, agreeable to the difference of foil. The lighter and 

 better lands, are turnips, barley, clover, wheat, and then fallow — others, barley, oats and 

 fallow. Wet and heavy land, wheat or barley, and clover for feed, and then fallowed 

 rather late in the fummer. Sometimes wheat or barley, peas and fallow. Almoft, if not 

 quite, one-third of our land is annually in fallow, excepting clover for feed, in the early 

 months of May and June. Both turnips and clover feed anfwer very well on the lands of 

 tolerably light foil ; but the proportion of acres fo cultivated is rather fmall ; the annual 

 average not exceeding fixty or feventy acres of each. 



^. Partly anfwered in the preceding. We have no plants for dying, &c. and as to medicinal 

 ones, I am not botanifl enough to give any fatisfadory information. 



9. None but the common dung of flables and farm yards, excepting only the produce of the 

 tanner's and fellmonger's yards. Thefe are laid upon the land from fifteen to fifty cart 

 loads, of perhaps about a cubic yard each per acre, according to particular exigencies ; 

 obferving however that the laft quantity is never beftowed, except when mixt with half 

 or two thirds earth. 



10. The ploughs, carts, harrows, rolls, waggons, the fame with thofe in the neighbourhood 



in general which you have feen. 



1 1 , Horfes entirely. 



J 2. Harveft fometimes begins about the 20th of July; at others, not till the middle of Augufl. 

 Seed time is equally various, according to the difference of the feafon. Sometimes it com- 

 mences fo early as the middle of September, and fometimes in the month of 0£lober. 

 Clover land, wheat, and forward peas, are feldom fown till the beginning of No- 

 vember. 



13. Enclofed from time immemorial. 



14. 



15. From one acre to forty; by far the greatefl part from three to twelve. 

 j6. 



17. None. 



18. Not twenty acres in the whole parifh. The greater part of the wafle lands of this neigh- 

 bonrhood lies in the adjacent parifh of Felflead, very commonly fuppofed to amount to 

 nearly 500 acres, but in fa6l there are only about 170. They are chiefly depaftured by 

 Hieep, cows, and geefe ; but according to what rule, I know not. In this refpeft you are 

 probably better informed than myfelf j as you confulted the mofl fkilful and experienced
