SEA-SAND AND LIME. 



The manures which Lord Shannon ufes are 

 fea-fand and lime. He prefers the latter for 

 brown flaty ftone land, and fand for lime- 

 ftone land : has ufed great quantities of it, 

 though four to fix miles from the fea. In one 

 month he has brought 6719 barrels of it, at 

 5d. a barrel, or 139!. 195. gi-d. for 67 acres, 

 at 100 barrels an acre, and afterwards 50 

 more for a fecond drefting : the effect of it 

 is very great, particularly in bringing daifies 

 (bellis) on very poor land, and white clover 

 when laid on good grafs lands. If a bag breaks, 

 and Tome accidentally falls on a wafte, the man 

 gathers it up as clear as he can, yet it is lure 

 to bring a patch of white clover. .Lime his 

 lordfhip burns in a long-necked kiln, which he 

 finds to anfwer-fo well, that one barrel of culm 

 burns ten of lime. He lets the kiln, and buys 

 the lime at is. 4cl. a barrel. Draws 26 bar- 

 rels a day. The culm 43. a barrel. The la- 

 bourers hire id. a barrel, for quarrying, break- 

 ing, and burning.

 mount to 50!. a year. He gives them. by vv.iy 

 of encouragement; but only to fuch as can 

 fpeak Englilh, and do fomething more than n'J
