 was a very good paiture. 



This was the general management : Ta- 

 king two crops of rye or oats, and then let- 

 ting it lie in grafs for three or four years, 

 and always breaking up with burning: And 

 in this management feveral hundred acres 

 were and are adjudged by many farmers, 

 to be worth from js. 6 d. to 1 5 s. per acre. 



As the rye is fown without harrowing, it 

 ihould be while corn is plentiful in the field, 

 that vermine may have no particular temp- 

 tation to attack it. 



This fyftem of management has been 

 found, on experience, to be very advantage- 

 ous; it would be, therefore, impertinent to 

 prefcribe, for fuch a peculiar foil, any im- 

 provements; but I cannot avoid remarking, 

 that if era'fs feeds were fown with the fe- 



o 



cond corn crop, the fucceeding pafturage 

 would probably be much better. But the 

 profit of advancing fuch land to ioj-. an 

 acre is a valt improvement ; it calls ftrongly 

 for attacking the numerous bogs in feme 

 other part? of this kingdom. This bog is 

 the fame fort as that defcribed at Thome, in 

 the tii it volume; the proprietors of which 

 know not of any method of improving it.
