of the landlord or in-roming tenant: to leave all the ftrsw 

 of the laft year's crop to the in-coming tenant, he carting 

 the corn to anv market within the dilbnce ot ten miles*; 

 to pay five pounds an acre additional rent for every acre of 

 meadow or patUire land, fpecificd as not to he broken up, 

 ihould he plough or till the fame; to pay five pounds an 

 acre additional! rent for every acre cropped contrary to cove- 

 nant •, to prel'erve timbers; not to cut, lop, or lop, any pol- 

 lard trees, underwoods, or hedge rows, under ei<iht or ten 

 years orowth, according to the productivenefs or tlerililv of 

 the foil : to allow landlord or his agents to cut or fell timberj 

 and to cart the fame OiT the land, at reafonahlc times. 



For the want of knowledge amongft pra6lical farmers, 

 which Mr. Cole thinks very great, he propofes that an ex- 

 perimental farm Ihould be taken by the Board of Agriculture, 

 and to allow a certain number of pupils, on pa\ ing a certain 

 fum of money, to be inftruftcd in every branch of agricul- 

 ture, and alfo ihofc fciences more immediately connected 

 with it- This farm to be fupplicd with proper perfons as 

 initruftors, and particular rules for the conduit of the pupils 

 to be laid down and ftriilly obferved. There is a great 

 want of communication (obferves Mr. Cole) with refpcil to 

 approved fafts in agriculture ; and being generallv known 

 in Norfolk and Sutlblk, he propofes that noblemen and 

 gentlemen (liould take a proper perfon as a tenant from 

 either of thefe counties, and place them upon a centrical part 

 of their eftates, lying in a county where the management 

 and imjirovement of grafs lands and Itock are well under- 

 (lood. He then gives his opinion from what part of Suflblk 

 or Norfolk thefe men fliould he taken, according to the na- 

 ture of ihc land upon which they are to be placed. 



The poor rates juflly come under Mr. Clofe's cenfure. He 

 conceives that the enormous rates lately levied are owinc; to 

 the inadequate price of labour in proportion to the price of 

 provifions f. This not only burthenis the farmer with a con- 



(iant 



* This clauH." not to extrnd to dairy farms; as, where a large ftock is 

 kept, the our-goii);; tenant ihould liave permiirion to fodder liis cattle with 

 it until the fpriiig. lea'ing the dung, &:c. — No.f Ly Mr. CioJ'c. 



\ The following curi )us circumftance defcrves to be mentioRed :~f 

 When the miniilers and their friends in the houfe of commons were pro- 

 pofing fobttitutci for bread, and bounties upon different ariicles, Mr. 

 Home Tooke, in one of the debites upon a potatoe bill, threw out to the 

 houfe this very idt-a of the price of labour being inadequate to the price of 

 proi-ifions, and that the poc>r man's one pound was not worth one-fourth 

 to him now, when compared with its former value : be recommended to 

 JSUi'ulers to diop tliis method of relieving them, as it never would anfwcr,
