might not be eafily divided off, and lett from the out-fkirts, _ 
without, perhaps, materially injuring the compactnefs, or 
beauty, or convenience, of the whole? And if the latter may 
be done,—whether any fufficient publick-fpirited reafon can 
be found, to prevent an addition to the publick ftock of

who, by clofe attention to that kind and degree of hufbandry 
which can be managed with.a fmall capital, may turn fuch 
portion of ground to an improved account, and be at the 
fame time fubfervient to the greater interefts of the commu- 
nity—in raifing an additional number of young pigs, the 
various kinds of poultry, ftocks of bees, &c.?—A finall
