South Down sheep; and, in a word, will carry thr pro- 

 dufliveness of the land to its ultimate degree of perfcdtion. 



There are 600 acres of good land in Sparham-heath, 

 that calls loudly for enclosure. 



Sporle common, near Svvafham, has much of excellent 

 land. 



Soulh Crekc commons, lOOOacrcs^ four great farmeis, 

 and four sheep-walks; jiassed it by West Basham enclo- 

 sures, where it is covered with thick fern, yei this is the 

 worst land of the four. Mr. Smith's common belongs 

 to Mr. CoKK, and is very fine land, worth 30s. an acre, 

 rent, tithe, and rates. 



Mr. Crowe broke up a warren at Ash Wicken, of 

 300 acres, and re-laid it for a sheep-walk, with the greatest 

 success, 



Mr. Reeves, of Heveringland, broke up 165 acres, an 

 old sheep-walk, on a poor sandy soil : he began with tur- 

 nips, claying and mucking for them ; the crop very good, 

 and fed on the land by sheep : then he took oats, which 

 were likewise verv good : after the oats, wheat, and a fair 

 crop: now turnips. The improvement great and prohc- 

 able, and with this excellent farmer's aianagement will be 

 durable* 



One thousand six hundred acres of wastes at Holt ; they 

 have talked for five years of enclosing, but nothing ye£

 closure just agreed upon.
