Experiments on a Farm at Sprodborougb. 



In the year 1791 1 had only nine acres of land, 

 on which I kept nine horfes, two cows, fourteen 

 fheep, and one hundred and thirty pigs ; all fed 

 with grains, except the fheep. The fheep, 

 notwithstanding their being intermixed with 

 the reft of the flock, became very fat. The 

 lambs I fold at 21s. per head -, and fome of 

 them were afterwards fold for breeding at 

 il. 11s. 6d. apiece. One of the cows coft 

 11/. with her calf in May : I fold her in Octo- 

 ber for 13/, after taking her milk: 



In the year 1792 I took a farm confiftingof 

 twenty-eight acres of pafture, at4l. per acre — 

 eighteen acres of tillage-land laid down with 

 clover, at 2%s. per acre — ten acres in grafs, ac 



26s.
