For remäarks,
[ 68 J ploughing, it was ploughed cross ways, when the turf turned up quite rotten, and the land was got into a clean state, by the first week in July, when part of it was sown with turnips, and the remainder with wheat some time after, both of which succeeded to admiration.
The working stock on this farm is 18 horses, and six oxen; and there are about ninety store oxen besides, of different ages; thirty of which are every year stall-fed.

It is designed to plant the summits and brows, of most of these hills, not in any regular form, but according to the shape of the high, and con- vex parts, and to devote all the slopes and concaves, to sheep- walks; which will render it a most agrecable object, particularly as this tract of irregularly⸗formned ground, surrounds the beautiful lake, called the Virginia Water.
I cannot close this account, without taking notice of one other exemplary improvement, which HiIs MaAIESTY has determined to adopt, namely, that of erecting a mill, upon the NoRFoLk FARM. Its purpose is that, of paying such of the labourers on the
