expenfe to him is 8d. a barrel roach. In the 1 

 {landing kilns he burns without breaking the 

 ftones, 1 500 barrels at a time with faggots, and 

 in this way it is 6d. a barrel. Thefe kilns, he 

 remark s, (hould be built with very great ftrength, 

 or the extreme heat of the fire burfts the ma- 

 fonry. His liming has been upon fo extenfwe 

 a fcale, that laft year he had feven kilns burn- 

 ing, two of them (landing ones, and burned in 

 all above 10,000 barrels, and as much this year, 

 all for manuring his own farm. Mr. Aldworth 

 has creeled a bolting-mill which will grind 5000 

 barrels of wheat, and it is curious to obferve 

 the effeclt of it as a newly-eftablifhed market : 

 the firft year he ground 1 100 barrels, being all 

 he could get ; the next year, the prefent, it will 

 be 5000. He has alfo taken pains to improve 

 the breed of fheep, by buying Englifh ewes. 

 The fame attention he has given to fwine and 

 various other articles. Reynold's turnip-cab- 

 bage he has planted two years for late feeding 

 of iheep in the fpring : he finds them of excel- 

 lent ufe, and is determined never to be without 

 them. He began to plant hops in 1772 upon 

 half an acre of land, a fine rich red loam a 

 yard deep; they fucceeded perfectly well; and 

 the fecond year yielded 8 cwt. the half acre of 

 as good hops as ever he met. In 1773 he added 

 two acres : in 1775 he planted another acre: 

 laft year the crop failed, not getting above 3 or 

 4 cwt. This year he has a very good appear- 

 ance. Has not found the climate at all againft 

 them ; and is clear that it may be a very advan- 

 tageous branch of culture. He, however, re-
