 winter in fallow, will be in excellent order for fowing 

 the feeds of thefe roots the March following. 



Upon the whole of this account, it feems clearly 

 to follow, that an arable farnn of 50I. or 60I. per 

 annum, though it has not an acre of meadow or

 management be made to produce as much and as 

 good butter and cheefe, as a dairy farm of the fame 

 value, and have a large proportion of land left for 

 the growth of corn and other purpofes. 



For inftance ; twenty acres of the fixty, I conceive, 

 would be competent to the maintenance of the flock 

 abovementioned, and they might be fitly divided as

 cabbages, two of turnip-rooted cabbage, and two 

 of turnips, making together twelve or fourteen acres; 

 the remainder to be fainfoin; in all twenty acres.
