r66 CLONMELL. 



His mill was built feven years ago, and coft 

 15,000!. the wages of the millers, includ- 

 ing candles, coals, foap, tallow, &c. 7 or 

 8ool. a year: it contains 9 ftoned for wheat, 

 and 4 for oatmeal : it has a very complete 

 apparatus for fifting, cleaning, &c. and gra- 

 naries of uncommon magnitude, holding 

 10,000 barrels : began to be worked with only 

 3,000 barrels of wheat in a year, which has 

 rifen gradually to 20,000 barrels in 1776, a 

 very ftrong proof of the great increaie of 

 tillage in the neighbourhood. Very much of 

 it is between Clonmell and Ca(hel, in which 

 tracl: there was formerly more iheep in one 

 parifh, than now in three ; alfo much in 

 the Corke road to Cloheen, but no moun-. 

 tain heath ground improved. The change 

 has been from fheep and bullocks. He 

 has a profpect of doing yet more, and 

 at the fame time that other mills have 

 been erected that grind much, perhaps the 

 whole is not fhort of 40,000 barrels.- The 

 farmers do not bring their wheat from a 

 greater diftance than 16 miles. Mr. Moore 

 finds it neceffary to kiln dry all. I menti- 

 oned to him the bad colour of all the wheat 

 in his own, and every other mill in Ireland, 

 he attributed it only to wet harvefts. He 

 fends his flour to Dublin, on the bounty, 

 which rather more than pays the expence of 

 carriage 6d. per cwt. Never exports on his 

 own account, but fends a little to Waterford. 

 It goes to Dublin in cars, which takes each 

 eight to ten cwt. that is from four to five 



bags.
