I mention this incident, and communicate 30. 



my rcfledions upon it, the rather, as I have {^'

NOVEMBER 10. The Bullock Hill at St. Faith's MANURE. 

 is laid to receive no benefit from the teatbe of 

 the bullocks which every year are fliewn upon 

 it daily, during a fortnight or three weeks. 



This year it was wheat; and if one may 

 judge from the flubble (notwithftanding the 

 wheat was dunged for), the crop was a very in- 

 different one. The foil a lightifh fandy loam. 

 This is an interefting fact. It is faid to be 

 owing to the worthlefsnefs of the teathe of 

 " drove bullocks." This I much doubt, how- 

 ever ; for the bullocks being many of them in 

 high cafe, and kept in grazing-grounds about 

 St. Faith's, fome of them perhaps within * 

 quarter of a mile of the Hill, the driving is 

 little more than the driving of fheep to a fold. 

 Some of them may, no doubt, come on to the 

 Hill immediately from Scotland ; and they are 

 all of them of courfe driven more or lefs ; and 

 there may be fome truth in this opinion.
