The 1 6 acres, which lafl: year yielded tur- 

 nips, were fallowed this year. 



■758. 



The walling went on this year without 



delay ; indeed it was attended fo much 



to, that no frefh piece was broke up. The 

 flock of cattle was however increaled : An 

 addition was made of 

 47 Sheep 

 I 8 Scotch heifers 

 2 Calves 

 1 Milch cows. 

 The 1 6 acres, already broken up, yielded 

 this year a crop of oats to the amount of 

 five quarters per acre; the ftraw of which 

 was a very fine affiftant to keeping thefe 

 cattle in the w^inter. 



The grand affair of walling did not flop 



this year, but a fubdivifion made, which 



inclofed a field of 20 acres ; this piece was 



a very ftubborn one, it was all black earth, 



but the v/alls cleared it of ftones : One 



circumftance in which it was very dif- 



couraging, was many parts of it being wet ; 



however, feafonable times being taken, thq 



furface was all pared and burnt at the fame 



price as before, and the wetteit parts of it 



laid dry by a few good drains. It was then 



limed, five chaldrons per acre, and fown 



with turnips. The crop proved an exceeding 



good one, worth 40 s, per acre.
