A very extraordinary circumftance I was 

 told, that within five or fix years there has 

 been much hay carried from Waterford to 

 Norway, in the Norway (hips that bring deals ; 

 as hay is dear here, it proves a moft backward 

 flate of huibandry in that northerly region, 

 fince the neighbourhood of fea-ports to which 

 this hay can alone go, is generally the befl im- 

 proved in all countries. 



Mr. Bolton has improved a great deal of 

 wade land, that was under furze, heath, and . 

 wood. He firft grubs it, which coils for the 

 woody part, 3!. or 3!. 33. and for the furze, 

 2os. Then levels all holes, &c. and clears it 

 of rocks, at the expence of aos. an acre. Up- 

 on this he dungs and plants potatoes in the 

 trenching way upon a part, and upon the reft 

 fallows and limes it, and fows wheat, 100 to 

 1 50 barrels an acre, produce feven to ten bar- 

 rels an acre. Then land it for oats or barley, 

 1 5 barrels of barley, and 1 2 of oats. In this 

 way he has done 300 acres, which was not 

 worth more than 53, an acre : now lets at 305. 

 In making this very noble improvement, he 

 divided the land into well proportioned fields, 

 and furrounded them with very noble fences > 

 double ditches, with a parapet bank between,
