OF NORFOLK. 6$ 



little cultivated ; cabbage, for cattle, is but feldom 

 planted ; orchards very few, and much neglected — 

 confequently no cyder. 



But above all, where land has a chalk or marl 

 at the bottom, let not faint-foin be forgotten (b) 

 upon fuch a foil as this ; or even where there is 

 gravel under a good furface, it is impoflible to fay 

 too much in its favour. In this country it is but 

 little known ; I believe the firft perfon who 

 brought it into Norfolk, was the late Sir Henry 

 L'Eitrange; next to him it was countenanced by 

 Mr. Rolfe and the Rev. Armine Styleman ; but 

 the greateft planter of it is Mr. Coke, who has, this 

 dry rummer, cut two hundred and fixty-five loads 

 of excellent hay, rather exceeding a ton to a load, 

 from one hundred and four acres. This was from 

 a plant of four years old, upon land not worth 

 more, for any other purpofe, than twelve millings 

 an acre. He is fo convinced of its great utility, 

 that he has lately laid down an hundred acres 

 more, and has it in contemplation to carry the cul- 

 tivation Hill further. 



Next to advifing the planting all land, that will 

 bear it, with faint-foin, and the flooding of all mea- 

 dows, where water can be got over, as hay is at all 

 times an article of the greatefl value to a farmer, 

 and what almofl every country is crying out for, il 

 a winter is at any tune fevere, 1 molt urgently re-
