 but of a few years ftanding : They lay 90 

 bufhels per acre on their arable lands ; coils 

 them from 1 \ d. to 3 d. per buihel, befides 

 leading ; they lay it on every fallow : They 

 likewife ufe it on their meadows, and find it 

 to anfwer well. But dung they reckon much 

 better for every thing. They pare and burn 

 a little, at the expence of 24.J. an acre. No 

 folding fheep, nor chopping ftubbles« Stack 

 their hay at home.

 much the bed: -, their oxen they fat to about 

 40 ftone.

 butter from each : The medium quantity 

 per week about 7 lb. but fometimes \\lb.

 portion to their dairies, not above two to ten 

 cows. The winter food is ftraw and hay ; 

 of the latter about a ton a head. They 

 reckon a dairy maid can manage ten cows. 

 25 or 30J". the fummer join:. In winter 

 they keep them all in the houie.

 fatting a beaft of fifty flone. Swine fat from 

 $os f to 4/. 4-f. a head.
