lie has perhaps tried the effect of draining 

 or manures, are much more likely to 

 repay him for an additional expence, than 

 others of which he has had no experience ; 

 not becaufe the foil of one is more improve- 

 able than that of the other, but by reafon 

 of the greater (kill with which he will 

 infallibly work upon the firft. Add to 

 this, that one hundred acres, well cultivated, 

 will pay more clear profit than two hun- 

 dred indifferently cultivated. 



For thefe reafons, I venture to advife 

 all farmers, when they have a fum of 

 money ready to expend, always to view 

 their farms before they think of additions ; 

 and confider what improvements, either in 

 draining, manuring with marie, chalk, 

 clay, lime, town-manures, &c. &c. &c. 

 can be made on their lands; and, if any 

 are to be found that require all or near all 

 his money, to expend it in fuch improve- 

 ments, before he thinks of adding to his 

 farm. 



All fuch improvements, let me add, are 

 a much better and more fure method of 

 difpofing money at interefl^ than any others 

 that can be found.
