Loofc corn of every kind is univerfally trod- 

 den in the barn witii horfes ; and, what is per- 

 haps fingular to Norfolk, horfes are fometimes 

 employed in txeading large ricks. 



Ricks in general, however, are carried up 

 too narrow and too high to be trodden with 

 horfes ; their roofs, more particularh^, being 

 frequently drawn up to an unneceffary and, in- 

 deed, ridiculous height ; thereby incurring un- 

 neceffary labour in topping-up, and an unnecef- 

 fary quantity of thatch and thatching. 



The price of the laft, however, being in a 

 manner fixed at fix-pence a yard in length, be 

 the roof high or low, deep or fliallow, the lofs 

 jn this falls rather upon the thatcher than the 

 farmer. 



For the minutiae of the harveft procefs, fee 

 the feveral crops : — namely, wheat, barley, 

 fee, &c.
