I do not find that a succession of crops has yet been attempted; surely it would help to meliorate and improve the soil.

Dod recommends strongly the culture of potatoes, on a large scale, and says that were they planted even as late as January they would answer, but this I doubt.

He is more than ever of opinion that without a large supply of cattle nothing can be done.

They have not at this time either horse, cow, or sheep here.

I asked him how the stock they had was coming on.
