Exclusive of the above, be bad within him 22 stone 

 61b. of loose fat, which was more than ever was 

 known to be taken out of a bullock of that weight 

 in the town of Guildfonl, and it was remarked by 

 many, that finer beef never was eaten. I mention 

 these particulars, in order to shew the great use of 

 parsnips, as I am convinced by experience, they are 

 preferable to carrots or turnips. But to proceed 

 on in my account : the profit upon this bullock 

 ampunted to 9!. 4s. 4d. which I also carry to the 

 account of the parsnips. 



" The remainder of my parsnips I gave to seven 

 dairy cows eleven weeks, at Js. 6d. per week each, 

 which amounts to 5l. 15s. 6d. so that the neat 

 profit (after deducting 61. 12s. per acre for the 

 necessary expences attending the parnips, as per 

 the calculation for last year) amounts to 28l. lOd. 

 besides a great many of the parsnips that I gave oc- 

 casionally to my store- hogs and cattle, which I va- 

 lued at 3l. I0s"Budd. 



CROP TREES. 



Cropping pollard-trees should be finished this 

 month. Top-wood is usually for the tenant's firing, 

 and it demands a landlord's attention to see that 

 they do not, when ditching, convert young timber- 

 trees into pollards, which certainly was the origin of 

 all we see.
