clover manured every year with 20 loads 

 of farm-yard compoft per acre. The horfes 

 will not have time to bring manure from 

 any town, as the work I have inferted above 

 employs them for 285 days. I fhould re* 

 mark, that the turnips carting, though fet 

 down to the whole team, yet is the work 

 only of two or three horfes, conftantly fup- 

 plying the cattle with food. I ftock the 

 70 acres of grafs with 35 large oxen, and 

 I calculate the 35 acres of turnips to fup- 

 ply them in winter, with the affiftance of 

 fome ftraw; befides which, they will fat 20 

 heifers, and winter 160 fheep, to be fum- 

 mer-fcd with the cows and horfes on the 

 clover : but though I affign the ftock, their 

 food, in this manner, yet every farmer muft 

 know, that the cows, horfes, and fheep 

 muft by turns follow the fatting cattle for 

 change. The principal point is, that 70 

 acres of grafs, 35 of clover, 35 of turnips, 

 70 of ftraw, and thirty pounds worth 

 bought, will maintain the above cattle; 

 and that no one can doubt.
