Of Farming Accounts. 25 



The second part consisted of about 248 Scotch acres, and was cropped 

 as follows: 1. Turnips; 2. Thirty-one acres winter wheat sown in 

 spring, and 31 acres of barley ; 3. Clover and ryegrass, generally 

 pastured ; and 4. Oats. 



Besides the above, there were about 53 acres kept in perennial pas- 

 ture, which was broken up when occasion required. The above was 

 the general system of management adopted upon this farm, though at 

 particular times, it might be partially departed from, according to sea- 

 sons and circumstances. 



An extensive distillery being carried on upon Mr Rennie's pro- 

 perty, a considerable quantity of dung was thence procured. The 

 benefit derived from this source, was no doubt of great importance : a 

 charge therefore, for the increased quantity of manure obtained by 

 means of distillery materials, is included in the charges against the 

 farm,
