 proportioned to it, and that is, 125 acres 

 of lucerne, at the rate of 3 cows per acre ; 

 which I know from repeated experiments, 

 will at any time be done by that grafs, 

 when on a good foil, and kept clean from 

 weeds. 



Cabbages and lucerne will undoubtedly 

 perform greater things than here fuppofed : 

 for it fhould be remembered, that the 

 manuring and culture are very complete on 

 this farm. The 9.600 loads of compoft 

 annually raifed, are fufficlent to cover the 

 200 arable acres every year, at the rate 

 of 13 loads per acre, which no one can

 common manuring : But what I appre-
