cocks of hay, of four or five loads each, on diffe- 

 rent parts of the heath, for that purpose, so that 

 the shepherd can always feed them from that which 

 is most under the wind, and he and his page carry

COLLECT LEAVES. 



In woodland countries, it is of great advantage to 

 rake up all leaves that can be procured at a mode- 

 rate expence, and cart them to the yards and stand- 

 ing folds, for littering and making them into dung: 

 I do it at 3d. per one-horse cart-load. They d 

 not rot easily, but that is no objection to them ; 

 they are a sponge to be saturated with urine, and if 

 not touched previously to carting on to the land, 

 will convey to the field much of what might other- 

 wise be lost ; and they are extremely useful in aid- 

 ing the main object of bedding the yards. 



DEPTH OF PLOUGHING. 

 Oar young farmer, on entering his farm at a sea- 

 son when the ploughs will be all at work for vari- 

 ous purposes, will necessarily have the question of 

 depth come often across his mind ; and it is a sub- 

 ject that will demand no trifling attention. In some 

 of our well cultivated counties, the shallowness of 

 the ploughing, is remarkable: when almost every 

 other point of management is very spirited and com- 

 plete, a deficiency in this may not be at once per- 

 eeived in the crops ; but I have no doubt but fai- 

 lures
