From the careless manner in which accounts of any kind are kept by the small Farmers, it becomes very difficult to ascertain with precision the amount of their crops, or the actual quantity of seed used. The numbers entered in 
the Table arc the mean of the quantities stated by them, and must in some degree be affected by the preceding cause, and by the distrust, which unfortunately still influences the poorer classes, who imagine that every inquiry is made 
with a view to the augmentation of their burthens. The price of manures in the field is composed of their cost, price, the expense of carriage, and an allowance for loading. In dung the cost price is assumed as 0, it being the product of 
the Farm, hut in the Farms near Derry, the city manure is occasionally purchased and carted for use to the Farm: when this is the case the manure for an acre, carried by land one mile, may he estimated at £6 16s.; two miles 
X '8 4s.; three miles £9 12s.: and it will he readily understood that so great an augmentation of price, consequent upon the carriage of a manure so bulky in its nature, must limit its transport from one place to another, and render the
