Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Tour in Ireland, Vol. 2: With General Observations on the Present State of the Kingdom; Made in the Years 1776, 1777, and 1779 September the 8th, left Drummoland, Sir Lucius rode with me through Clonmelly, to the hill above Bunratty Castle, for a view of the Shannon. Clonmelly is a division of Drum-line parish, 900 acres of Corkass land in one lot, which is cheap, at 30s. an acre. I went into fame of the pastures, which were stocked with very fine bullocks, at the rate of one to every acre. In this neighbourhood, Mr. Hickman has a close of 20 acres, which, when in his own hands, fattened him 2 cows per acre, and in winter fed him 100 wethers, to the improvement of 6s. each. The profit by the cows was 4l. and by the sheep 1l 10s. per acre: in all 5l. 5s. I had this fact from his own mouth. The richness of these corcasses, which are flat lands on the river side, that have been gained at different times from the salt water, is very great.
