Leaving Luttrel's town, I went to St. Wol- 

 {tans, which Lord Harcourt had been fo ob- 

 liging as to deiire I would make my quarters, 

 from whence to view to the right or left. 



June 25th, to Mr. Clements, at Killadoon, 

 who has lately built an excellent houfe, and 

 planted much about it, with the fatisfaction 

 of finding that all his trees thrive well; I re- 

 marked the beech and larch feemed to get be- 

 yond the reft. He is alfo a good farmer. 

 Cabbages he has repeatedly tried, and ufed 

 them generally for fattening fheep, and finds 

 them much better for the purpole than tur- 

 nips. 



Potatoes he cultivates largely, not only for 

 family ufe, but alfo for fattening fwme ; 

 boils them, and they fat exceedingly well, 

 without any mixture of meal, both porkers 

 and for bacon, giving them oats for three 

 weeks at laft.
