2 3 SUMMERHILL. 



much fooner than 40 others at hay, and 

 yielded him a great price at Smithfield. 



Mr. Jones has improved fome poor rough 

 land that produced nothing, firft by hollow- 

 draining thoroughly, and then manuring it 

 with limeltone gravel, which brought up a 

 great crop of white and red clover, and tre- 

 foile. He alio fprends this manure on lays he 

 intends breaking up; and obferves. that the 

 ufe of it is very great, for, when dug out of 

 ditches, you gain at once manure, drains and 

 fences. He has feen fome of it dropt on a 

 bog in carting, and where-ever it falls, is furq 

 to bring up the white clover. 



From hence took the road to Summerhill, 

 the feat of the Right Hon. H. L. Rowley, 

 the country is chearfuj and rich ; and if tho 

 Irifh cabbins continue like what I have hither- 

 to feen, I (hall not heiitate to pronounce their 

 inhabitants as well off as moil Englifh Cot- 

 tagers. They are built of mud walls 18 

 inches or 2 feet thick, and well thatched, 

 which are far warmer than the thin clay walls 

 in England. Here are few cottars without a 

 cow, and fome of them two. A belly full 

 invariably of potatoes, and generally turf for 

 fuel from a bog. It is true they have not" 

 always chimneys to their cabbins, the door 

 ferving for that and window too: if their 

 eyes are not affecled with the fmoke, it may 

 be an advantage in warmth. Every cottage 

 fwarms with poultry, and mod of them have 



pigs.
