perch : if a froft comes, carry on the lime- 

 ftone gravel, let it be a coat of two inches 

 thick; if three it will be better; two inches 

 will coft 3I. if not carried farther than half a 

 quarter of a mile ; if carried a quarter of a 

 mile, it will coft 4I. 10s. if half a mile, 61. 

 1 5s. if a mile 9I. Prefers the clayey Iime-ftone 

 gravel to every other manure : if that is not 

 to be had, clay ; and if not clay, other gravel; 

 if no gravel or clay, then lime ; if nothing 

 elfe, then the light marie under bogs. Upon 

 this manuring fpread a compoft, one-third 

 dung, one-third ditch earth, and one-third 

 lime-ftone gravel, nine bufhels to the fquare 

 perch ; if dung only, fix ; and upon that plant 

 potatoes in the common manner. The crop 

 will, on an average, be 30 barrels, at 8s. or 

 12I. an acre. The poor people will readily 

 give three or four guineas an acre for liberty 

 to plant them. Upon this crop of potatoes 

 fpread two bufhels of dung more to the perch, 

 arid plant a fecond crop of potatoes, making 

 the furrows where the ridges were, and make 

 the ridges of both crops nine feet wide, and the 

 trenches four. This crop of potatoes will be 

 full as good as the firft. Then dig it, levell- 

 ing the trenches, fcoopingthe fides, to fill up 

 with, and the manured part on the furface ; 

 fow barley; the crop will be 12 barrels on an 

 average ; with this barley fow grafs feeds, and 

 it will immediately be worth for meadow il.

 it a light gravelling, at il. 10s. an acre; dung 

 it four buthels per perch; plant potatoes, 12I.
