- (continued from previous page)And never had experienced.
The working of a farm.
"What do you call that stuff you shake.
So neat from end to end?"
"Tis Hibernian's Manure sir you may be sure.
But we call it the farmer's friend.
'O for fifty years I have suffered.
With this rank and barren soil.
But lately I can raise a crop to pay me for my toil.
And if I live a few years more
Great riches I'll procure.
I'll cultivate that mountain there.
With Hibernian manure".

It's now in the first week of May.
We are better to let out the cattle
And to try to dispose of the hay.
It is usless to take it to market.
And we don't want it at home"
"False swearing to us is no treason"(continues on next page) - Collector
