man, by adhering to this plan of a regu- 

 lar rotation of crops, having- the one half, or 

 two thirds in grafs, could labour with the 

 fpade ten or fifteen acres each year, and 

 would only need to hire a horie to harrow, 

 rarry home the crop, and drive out the dung, 

 The produce would be much more after the 

 fpadc than after the plough, and cheaper : 

 For when a farmer has only ten or twenty 

 acres cultivated in the prefent method, the 

 expence for men and horfes will almoft equal 

 the value of the whole produce ; fo that thofe 

 who have only a few acres, are kept conftant- 

 ly poor, and the farm alfo. 



Many of the fmall farmers are in a wprfe 

 iituation. than the day labourers : Whereas, 



lie villages were properly planned out at 

 firft, each houie having two and a half acres 

 at leaft, fome five or ten, the feuars m. 

 live comfortably, and have many articles, 

 the produce of the farm-garden, to fell. 



It is commonly obferved, that fmall te- 

 . nants fell more poultry and eggs than great 

 farmers. 



It may be faid, in proportion as tke num- 

 ber of villages multiply, the price of provi- 



fions
