 load. 



These particulars surely must prove the vast im- 

 portance of such conveniences, for fattening great 

 numbers of swine, for the mere purpose of raising* 

 manure. Suppose the expence, timber included,

 the cheapest ra'e possible. 



The total ex pence at present of such yards

 old one : and in other cases he may come to a farm
