Shannon, without either hay or turnips. The 

 marled land has a remarkable fpring of grafs 

 in the winter j the rot is very little known. 

 All keep pigs, which are much increafed of 

 late ; their pork 325. a cwt. laft year at Lime- 

 rick; Mr. Head has known it fo low as 145. 

 No proportion between cows and pigs. 



In hiring and flocking farms, many will 

 take them in partnerfhip with no other capital 

 than a little flock of cattle. Difficult to fix 

 the number of years purchafe at which land 

 fells. None has been fold in this barony In 

 Mr. Head's memory. Leafes to proteftants 

 three lives. 



The common mode of labour is that of cot- 

 tars, they have a cabbin and an acre for 303. 

 and 305. the grafs of a cow, reckoning with 

 them at five pence a day the year round ; other 

 labour vibrates from four pence to fixpence. 

 A cottar with a middling family will have two 

 cows i there is not one without a cow. All 

 of them keep as many pigs as they can rear, 

 and fome poultry. Their circumtlances are 

 rather better than 20 years ago.
