_ From the preceding calculations, it appears then, that upon 
the rotation first noticed, under the Scotch system of labour, 
there is a profit of 58s. per acre, while upon the second, under 
the English system, there is not more than 3s. 6d. per acre, be- 
ing a difference of 54s. 6d.; and if to this be added 4s. 6d. as 
gained by the advantages attending the thrashing-machine, this 
will form the sum of 59s. per acre of profit, which the manage- 
ment that I have adopted affords more than that of this neigh- 
bourhood. As the profit, however, of 3s, 6d. per acre, addi- 
tional to common interest on capital, is certainly smaller than 
farmers are known to get, it is necessary to notice some circum- 
stances which contribute to their profits, that the estimate has
