EXPOSITION OF RECEIPTS AND PAYMENTS, 



As shoivn in the 'preceding balance sheets, and in the synopsis, folio 16. 



The preceding accounts, showing the averages of twenty-three years, 

 are statements of facts, and not estimates. 



The receijits in respect of cereals are made up by the amount for grain 

 sold, as shown in the balance sheet (folio 16), with the quantities con- 

 sumed on the farm at their relative market prices. The grain consumed 

 by stock increased the manurial value of the hay, root, and green crops 

 feed on the farm. The average area in cereals grown annually has been 

 88 acres, 3 roods, and 24 perches (or four-ninths of the area cropped per 

 annum). 



The straw arising from the same is computed from the average of 

 the thirteen years, which is taken as a criterion for the twenty-three, 

 and is as follows, viz. :
