27 to 32 bufliels each, fay 30 bufhels ; but 

 as fmall three-wheeled carts are to be ufed, 

 it will be 200 loads. I fuppofe the manure 

 to be every where found at different depths 

 under the furface, and fliallow enough to 

 be flung dire61Iy into the carts ; w^hich is 

 common in mofi: of the marie and chalk- 

 ing countries with which I am acquaint- 

 ed J in this cafe, thefe fmall carts which 

 contain about 15 bufhels, and are drawn 

 by a fingle horfe, are far preferable to 

 the larger kinds : where the draft is (liort 

 (and no body would have a long one, 

 when they may fink as many pits as they 

 pleafe) two horfes and one driver, one to 

 be ufed at a time, and changed at noon, 

 will keep tvv^o or three carts at work from 

 day-break, //// dark night, filled according 

 to diflance by two, three or four men i 

 and will carry from 50 to 80 loads a day, 

 and juft around the pit with four or five 

 fillers, even to 100. This is from 25 to 

 50 common loads, which is a very good 

 day's work for three great carts and fix 

 horfcs. This at once fhews the fuperiority 

 of the fmall carts, for two liorfes do more 

 than fix J and it is the teams that create 

 the trouble and complexity of improve-
