be remarks
Nothing pays me better than giving my
sheep one pound of rapecake; as theyget fat,
they will cat nearly one and half pounds
per day. Rapecake costs s6 per toni as
manure, it is worth s3 3s. per ton, and we be.
love that seven pounds of rapecake will make
one pound Of mutton. Fattening hogs entails
q loss Of about ten per cent. as an average,
but still it is much cheaper than guano; fifty.
six pounds Of barley meal is generally sutfi-
cientto produce eight pounds of pork. Fat.
tening bullocks, on the principle laid down
by MI. Horsfall, is also cheap way OF obtain.
ing manure. When you have made your
manure, take care not to waste an ounce OF

fifteen years, and as consequence, my farm
