(hillings when fat. The cow was a good milk- 

 er, and was milked within fix weeks of her be- 

 ing killed — weighed thirty-fix (lone, nine flone 

 of fat — fold for fixteen guineas. I have found, 

 from repeated trials, that the fmall Scotch 

 cowsconfume, on an average, one fifth lefs than 

 a large cow of the Tees-water kind. This 

 year I had a calf, which at the age of thirteen 

 weeks weighed nineteen ftone twelve pounds 

 and a half, and had fucked no other cow but 

 its own mother. — I increafed my farm by nine 

 acres, which had had oats the year before up- 

 on flag-land or fward ploughed up. I raifed 

 on thefe nine acres the following crops : one 

 acre and half of Charlton peas, very good — 

 one rood of Windfor beans, bad — one rood of 

 long-podded beans ; bad crop, the rooks had 

 eaten the feed. The long-pods yielded fifteen 

 bufhels and a half; the Windfor, nine bufhels 

 and a half. Potatoes under them, twenty-five 

 facks — Two acres and an half of Halting peas 

 drilled ; very good, forty bufhels per acre. 

 Half an acre of field-peas fown broad-caft : 

 good, produce fifteen bufhels. Four acres of 

 potatoes; produce one hundred and ninety 



facks
