480 HORSES AND OXEN". 



At Snettisham, 30 years ago, 16 horses necessary for 

 500 acres of arable land. 



In Happing hundred, five per 100 acres. 



Mr. H. Blythe, 30 to 1000 acres of sand, and chalk, 

 drilled. 



Mr. Reeve, of Wighton, 700 acres, 22 horsQS ; not 

 four per 100: drilled. 



Mr. DuRSGATE, at Summerfield, 1050, and 31 horses. 

 At Sedgford, 1240 acres, and 36 horses; very nearly all 

 in tillage, and all drilled. 



Mr. Styleman, of Snettisham, four to 100 acres j 

 not the more for drilling. 



Mr. P<rwELL, of Broomsthorp, near Fakenham, with 

 15 Suffolk horses in his stable, used but one load of hay 

 last winter. He feeds with cut straw and oats, and has no 

 racks. Uses Burrell's chaff-cutter, paying 2s. for 20 

 coombs. 



Mr. Burton, of Langley, never lets his horses re- 

 main in the stable at night, always turning them into a 

 well-littered warm yard, contiguous to the stable. This 

 is the practice of the farmers in the angle of country 

 formed by Woodbridge, Saxmundham, and the sea. 



Two and thirty years ago, Mr. R amey, of Yarmouth, 

 was in the regular pra(5lice of soiling, which has not since 

 been followed to any thing like the extent to which it 

 ought to be every where carried. The second week in 

 Alay he began on clover for 20 horses and 7 cows, 5 

 <:alves, and his hogs, and found seven acres sufficient for 

 them till the wheat crops were cleared ; reckoning the 

 horses and cows at 2s. 6d. a week, the calves at is. 6d. 

 and nothing for hogs, it amounted to 9I. 2s. id. per acre. 

 A tenant fed stock to the same amount in an adjoining 

 field, and when Mr. Ramey had eaten 5 acres, this man 

 had eaten and wasted 30.
