 flieep by May-day r, i8 acres of them kept 

 1 20 fheep fix weeks from that time : This 

 improvement is a very important one, for 

 the great article of procuring fheep feed late 

 in the fpring, is what has more than once 

 puzzled many very attentive cultivators : It 

 is to be apprehended, that no one food can 

 be made toanfv^er from the middle of M^rr/^

Buckwheat his Lordfhip once tried for his 

 horfes, but did not find it to anfwer; 



His management refpeding manure, is 

 much more mafterly than that of his nor- 



whole, I have no where feen plantations dilpofed 

 with more tafte — fketched with more judgment 

 for fetting off the natural inequalities of the 

 ground", and managed more artfully for prefent-

 furface to the eye : — -Nor can any thing of the 

 kind be more beautiful than the lawn, which 

 fp reads over the hills and among the woodsj, 

 fo as to appear in different fweeps of green, in- 

 denting in fome places thd woods and breaking 

 through them in others. Few objects in the 

 ftile of ornament, can be more agreeable in 

 itfelf, or more flriking from its fituation, than 

 the farm-houfe, v/hich is feen from moil: parts of 

 the ground, and always to advantage.
