The 4!. 7s. Sd. was made at a time when other 

 grass-land 'is in a dormant state, or exhibits but 

 feeble symptoms of vegetation. But the reader 

 will perhaps see the advantages of this art in a still 

 stronger light, when he is told that this meadow, 

 which is now in the occupation of a miller, was a 

 few years ago in the hands of a farmer, who, being 

 at variance with the miller, was entirely deprived of 

 the use of the water for a whole winter, which un- 

 fortunately was succeeded by a very dry spring and 

 summer ; of course, the spring feed was lost ; and 

 the whole hay crop of eight acres was only three 

 tons."
