When I returned from Difhley, I tried thi3 

 improvement upon fome land of my own; but 

 found that the quantity of water I was maftcr 

 of was infufficient, and that it was better ap- 

 plied in the fold-yard, where it was received in 

 a refervoir for the purpofe of forming a com- 

 poft, as already mentioned. 



Upon the whole, artificial watering of mea- 

 dows is a mod excellent improvement ; it robs 

 no dunghill, but raifes one for the benefit of 

 other lands. For, if a farmer can water ten 

 acres of land, cut the grafs and ufe it either in 

 ftall or fold-feeding, he might keep perhaps 

 forty beads ; and, by working the manure mgde 

 by them into a compoH, and applying that 

 compoft to other lands, he might either have 

 ^ great deal more hay for the winter, or feed 

 more cattle in the fummer.
