The annual expence of a horse, depends much upon the 

 circumstance, whether corn is given him through the sum- 

 mer months. In Mr Brown's case, each of his horses con- 

 sumes about 4 bolls of oats, between the end of May and 

 the commencement of harvest. The prices are stated at 

 the rates of the year 1810. 



In Roxburghshire, Mr Walker of Wooden, and his 

 brother, Mr Walker of Mellendean, who keep in all no less 

 a number than fifty working horses, calculate the annual 

 expence of maintaining a horse, at L. 34 : 11 : 10^, ac- 

 cording to the following estimate : 



Three feeds of oats per day, for 34 weeks ; and two feeds 

 per day for 18 weeks, is 16 bolls 2 pecks Teviotdale 

 measure, or 21 bolls 6 firlots of Linlithgow measure, 

 (6 Winchester bushels each), at 20s. per Linlithgow
