20 Dra-ught oxen 



18 Fatting ditto 



52 Scotch beafts, of 35 ftone each, 

 And 2 Milch cows.

Which number of cattle made in the 

 winter 4000 loads of dung, 26 bufhels each ; 

 which is better than 357/^^ head. The 

 whole was carted into heaps, to complete 

 the rotting ; but as particular experim^ents 

 have not been made of the wafle, it is dif- 

 ficult to fay what proportion it may be in, 

 but I fhould apprehend the 35 v loads would 

 make 25 in fuch order as commonly carried 

 on to arable land ; or, in other words, a 

 quantity fufficient for one acre and an half : 

 And it certainly muft be allowed, that the 

 manuring that breadth of land from every 

 head of cattle wintered, is an object of the 

 utmofl importance, and never, by any 

 means, equalled in the common northern 

 fnanagement.
