Mr. H's method of treating his meadows, 

 now in their improved flate, is, to feed them 

 every year, and to Ihift his ftock repeatedly , 

 beginning at one end, and proceeding regu- 

 larly, fq as to make two or three revolutions 

 in the courfc of the fummer : and, whenever he 

 t..Kes his flock out of one of his pieces, he 

 makes a point of fweeping down the weeds 

 and rough grafs. An admirable practice ; by 

 which a frefh rowen-like bite is prepared 

 againft the return of the {lock ; befides the 

 weeds being thereby effectually kept under. 



Mr. H. fays, that he has fatted both Iheep 

 and bullocks on (his improved morafs ; and 

 that they fat very kindly. He further fays, 

 that it gives cows a great flow of milk ; and 

 Mrs. H, fays, that the butter from it is per- 

 fectly good. 



Enquiring of Mr. Horfeley, if he had kept an 

 account of his expences fmce his firft purchafe ; 

 he faid, no ; but was clear in the main fact ; 

 namely, that the improvement greatly exceeds 

 the expence of improving : adding, that he 

 could have fold the land in its improved ftate 

 fpr twice the amount of the pur chafe-money.
