Ugford Farm. — 300 acres. 
This includes some of the best land farmed by Mr. Rawlence ; 
200 acres of it arc farmed on the same four-course system as the 
Home Arable at Bulbridge, and the remainder on the Norfolk 
four-course system, certain " catch crops " being taken previous 
to the root-course, and half the barley-land being sown with 
mangolds or cabbages instead of seeds. It must, however, be 
understood that no particular hundred acres are constantly devoted 
to the latter system, but that each portion of land is in turn 
farmed on both systems. The Norfolk four-course for this 100 
acres may be tabulated as follows : — 
Wheat and rye-grass. 1/^ Wheat followed by 
I vetches and winter oats.

AVheat as above. 
The remaining 20 acres of arable land on this farm are in five 
small fields, about one-half the quantity being in roots every year 
and the remainder in white crop. 
On the whole farm the quantity of land in white crop every 
year will, if calculated up, be found to be —

1. On the home arable at Bulbridge, one-half the area, viz. 42 
2. On the field arable at Bulbridge, two-fifths the area, viz. 128

Water-Meadows. — The portion intended for early spring feed- 
ing is irrigated in November, the remaining sections being 
watered in succession as the water can be spared, and the irriga- 
tion of the last meadow commencing about 20th of December ; 
irrigation is continued during the winter until a week or ten days 
previous to each meadow being stocked in the spring. Sheep 
begin to feed the first portion of the meadows about March 20th, 
and continue to feed off in succession the remaining divisions,
