may have an easy fall out of every furrow into th< 

 water ones. The number of these must ever de- 

 pend on the variations of the surface ; the only ge- 

 neral rule being to make them so numerous, that 

 no water can stand on the land in the wettest wea- 

 ther. In bottoms of fields, or other places, when 

 there is a double slope of the land, it is necessary 

 to cut double water-furrows, about a yard or foni 

 feet from each other, to take water from each 

 descent. 



BUY IN SHEEP. 

 If there is not a regular flock kept upon tin 

 farm, the annual purchase maybe supposed to take 

 place at fairs towards the end of August, or all 

 through September : and the sort most commonly 

 bought is wether lambs, and I believe more profit- 

 ably than any other. They used to be had for 15s. 

 in the breeds of Norfolk, the South Down, and 

 others of a similar size ; but of late years, they 

 have risen to 2Os. and even higher. There are 

 two systems of keeping them ; one is, to put them 

 to the very highest keep, and push them by every 

 means to sell as soon as possible ; the other, and I 

 Iicheve the more advantageous method, is to keep 

 pretty wc-11 till March, and then to full keep, and 

 n to sell in har. ntimnng till September 



lichaelmns, and then clearing all. In this way 

 I have often known the purchase money doubled, 

 it's the fleece. Soi. much more is done, 



but this maybe looked for on an average of years.
