In proportion as tliefe circumftances are 

 found among the offices of a farm, the 

 more advantageous it will be. They are, 

 upon the whole, of very great importance ; 

 infomuch that a farm much wanting in 

 them can fcarcely be a beneficial one, how- 

 ever excellent all other circumftances are. I 

 may certainly be miftaken in this matter, 

 but I am clear that I would not hire the 

 otherwife beft farm in England, if deftitute 

 of thefe conveniencies, or very defective in 

 them : A farm indeed may be advantageous, 

 enough to induce the tenant to build, but 

 that is a circumftance not to be taken into 

 the prefent account. 



Having offered thefe hints upon the 

 buildings neceflary, we muft next confider 

 them with an eye to their repairs. In 

 many countries this expence lies upon the 

 tenant (with that of the dwelling-houfe 

 alfo)j after they are put into repair by the 

 landlord. It is in this cafe highly requifite 

 that the new tenant views them with the 

 utmoft attention ; that he may be able to 

 form as exact an eftimate of the annual 

 expence as- the nature of the thing will 

 allow.
