 A fad: I much doubted, until the perfon 

 who gave me the intelligence called in

 firaw, of the former about half an acre. 

 The calves never fuck at all, but are 

 brought up by hand ; for the butcher three 

 weeks, and for rearing three months. 



Their flocks of fheep rife from 40 with- 

 out right of commonage, to 4000 with; and 

 they reckon the profit at js. a-head; their 

 common winter food is on the moors, but 

 in deep fnows they give them hay. Their 

 fleeces run from 3 -to bib. 



In their tillage they calculate four horfes 

 and four oxen necefiary for the culture of 

 100 acres of arable land. They ufe two 

 horfes and two oxen in a plough, fome- 

 times only two horfes, and do from half 

 to three quarters of an acre a-day. They 

 allow their horfes three gallons of oats per 

 week y and reckon the annual expencc 

 per horfe at 6 /. Their draught oxen they 

 feed on fi:raw and hay in the winter.
