Grafs land, gravelled, will let to the poor 

 at 5I. for potatoes. Very good old grafs, 

 without any manure, 4I. 4s. and as much 

 more for the fecond year for flax : after that, 

 would give jl. for oats, and they will give 5I. 

 for dunged ftubble for potatoes. 



The crop 80 barrels. Prime coft 2s. 6d. 



Lord Longford has fome black bottom land, 

 as it is called here; that is, black red bog par- 

 tially drained ten or twelve years ago, fome 

 of it tolerably dry : other parts fo wet, that a 

 beaft can fcarcely venture on it with fafety. 

 One pait is a reddifh bog, three feet deep, 

 which 1 2 years ago, was burnt a foot deep ; 

 and at the fame time open drains made 10 

 feet wide at top, and 7 deep, the bog being 

 formed by the drains into beds 40 feet wide. 

 The fpontaneous rubbifh, heath chiefly is 

 now coming fafc again, but it never has been 

 cultivated; where the fires were made are 

 fpots of fine white clover. This land, at pre- 

 fent, would let for nothing, but it is highly 

 improveable.
