I766. 



This year the crop was mown for hay, 

 the latter end of May, product four loads. 

 It was left rather too long ; the beginning 

 of that month is a much better feafon ; the 

 cows refufed to eat it : Mr. Searancke re- 

 flecting on the fuccefs of laft year with only 

 the flravu, thought it might be owing to 

 the bruifing the italks in the threfhing ; he 

 therefore took the hint, and made his men 

 threfh this hay enough to bruife the Italks, 

 and then trying the fame cows with it, they 

 eat it very freely. After the mowing it 

 was fed by cows, and the milk was always 

 found to be plentiful, and the butter excel- 

 lent.

Throughout thefe years it was paftured 

 bv cows ; and the former remark verified 

 by experience, that no food gives more 

 milk or fweeter butter. 



Prefent State of the Crop. 



It is to be obferved, that the natural 

 grafies during the laft two years have arofe 

 pretty much, ib that the field is now a very 

 good common pafturc. This opens a view 

 of burnet that is very advantageous; it is 

 od and cheap way to lay down land for 

 perpetual pafturej the burnet gives imrrie-
