I neither knew what blades nor slops were. The people seemed to laugh at me for my Inquiry; as by this time they had learnt that I was the English farmer who had come over with a quantity of horses, bulls, cows, hogs, and dogs, and taken a farm of General Washing- ton at Mount- Vernon, I have reason to say, indeed.
14 Statement of Richard Parkinson I was not a fit man to farm in their country; which I heard said repeatedly, both at that time and afterwards during my stay in America. This I knew... to be true: nor is any Englishman: — it does not suit very well to take anything from rich land to poor.
Now to return to the slops and blades. — The latter proved to be the blades and tops of Indian corn: and the slops were the same that are put into the swill-tub in England, and given to hogs.
When I got these blades, my horses were frightened at them ; for they rattle much, having the same appear- ance as our dry flag-leaves in England. From their de- lightful smell, however, the horses began to eat them; and very good they are : but I had only forty pounds for thirteen horses, bulls, and cows; and this was all I could procure in the town of Norfolk, where there appeared to be a great deal of shipping and trade.
