From London they bring many forts of 

 manure : They carry up hay, ltraw, or 

 chafF cut out of ltraw or hay, and come 

 down loaded with bones, cows or hogs 

 hair, cows hoofs, coal allies, foot, horle- 

 dung, &c. The hair and hoofs are about 

 a guinea a load, of forty buihels. Bones 

 from 8j-. to 15^. coal allies, 2 s. 6d. to $s. 

 and horfe-dung, is. or \s.6d. For this 

 work waggons are much wanted, but moil 

 of it is done with carts. 



The fame team and men go three times 

 a week, fetting out about ten, eleven, or 

 twelve o'clock on Sunday night, and return 

 about five o'clock on Monday afternoon. 

 Tuefday is a broken day for odd jobbs, or 

 a little plowing. At night they go again, 

 and return on Wednefday. Thurjaay is ano- 

 ther idle day : At night they go again, and 

 return on Friday. Saturday a little plowing 

 done. If they begin on Monday night (in- 

 llead of Sunday) they then finilh on Satur- 

 day, night inftead of Friday night. The in- 

 termediate days are, however, often em- 

 ployed in getting ready the load ; and it 

 not, they are of little value to the farmer, 

 as the horfes, having been worked pretty 

 hard, want reft, and the men will always 

 be ready enough to take it. Some few go 

 on purpofe for manure, without carrying a 

 load up, but the expence is very heavy, and 

 fome think can fcarcely anfwer, which is a 

 point I defign trying experimentally.
