i6 THE RURAL SOCRATES. 



We fiiall now take a view of the confequences of the 

 labors of Kliyogg and their agreement with the various 

 foils he cultivated.

He hires moreover in a village adjacent, a meadow 

 of three acres for 4I. i6s. 3d. per ann. which is already 

 greatly improved. — His indullry has enabled him to 

 augment his crop of hay eight loads, which is almofl 

 one third. — I was curious to know why the long mea- 

 dow did not funiifli fo much hay by a load as that in the 

 Winikin, though their dimenfions were exaiSlly the 

 fame ? He imputed this deficiency to negled of manur- 

 ing and labor, as he had wanted time to finifli them 

 properly. — It ought to be obferved, that the hay was 

 commonly double the quantity of the after-grafs. — An 

 acre of land, improved to the height, according lo Kli- 

 yogg's computation, will require, for two years, ten 

 loads of dung, or 20 tons of peat afliest ; and he 

 thinks the latter fort of manure anfwers by far the bell: 

 for meadows which cannot be overflowed.
