answer in fattening, and also in the nourish rncni oi' 

 sows and pigs. Such experiments are difficult to 

 make satisfactorily, but yet they ought to be made 

 by some persons who are able. Warm food in 

 winter, regularly given, I should suppose, must be 

 morer fattening than that which is cold, and, in bad 

 weather, half frozen. 



FENCES. 



Keep the hedgers and ditchers close to work all 

 this month, so that they may be ready for other 

 business in the spring. The three first winters of 

 the lease should get the fences into good order ; 

 afterwards divide them into twelve parts, and do 

 one every year, which will bring the whole to regu- 

 lar cuttings. 



DIG MANURES. 



Upon light and very dry soils it will be proper to 

 keep the marl, chalk, or clay carts at work : indeed 

 they should never stop; for, when a man hires such 

 soils for improvement, the sooner they receive the 

 manure, the greater will be his profit : for in some 

 countries, landlords, after the first lease, either raise 

 the rents considerably, or turn the tenants out. It 

 is therefore highly incumbent on them to regain 

 their expence with profit, within the term of the 

 first lease ; and that can only be done by marling 

 very quickly at first.
