 ing, each plat confiding of twenty-four acres.

 fourteen acres of clay-land, which is alfo 

 ploughed* Thefe, added together, make one 

 hundred and twenty-fix acres, all under plough 

 according to the old management. If you 

 fubtracl: the one hundred and twenty-fix acres 

 from three hundred and fourteen, there will 

 be a refidue of one hundred and eighty-eight 

 acres, which are all in grafs, and ufed for the 

 purpofe of raifing one hundred and forty lambs, 

 or tupping one hundred and forty ewes (as the 

 hogs are fold off in fpring, and the drape ewes 

 at Michaelmas,) and keeping twelve horfes, 

 and thirty beads* The rotation of crops here 

 made ufe of is according to the old fyftem, as 

 before obferved, viz* turnips, barley, clover 

 and wheat : and probably the method here 

 followed may be as good as any other 5 as the 



farm 



* The four plats confifting of twenty-four acres each, 

 and the plat of fixteen acres, are of limeftone : the reft 

 clay, and liable to rot ftieep.
