Upon this farm would amount to a more 

 confiderable fum ; but that is omitted, for 

 the fame reafon as before mentioned. 



The method of calculation I have traced 

 in this {ketch, is, I apprehend, that which 

 will, in fimilar cafes, lead, in the fureft and 

 xnoft accurate manner, to truth. Farmers, 

 convinced of the fuperior value of grafs 

 land in little farms, may be afraid of hir- 

 ing an arable one, with a view to lay it 

 down, left the expences fhould run up 

 much beyond what they can afford : But, 

 if they proceed in this manner in calcu- 

 lating the expence, they cannot be deceived, 

 and will difcover from it not only the fum 

 of money requifite, but the times when it 

 will be expended, and the amount of the 

 annual benefit from it. But one thing they 

 muft let me caution them well againft; 

 which is, faving any thing (as they may 

 call it) m the purchafe of grafs-feeds. Lefs 

 than twenty fhillings worth will not lay 

 an acre of land well: Nothing can be at- 

 tended with more pernicious effects than 

 any deductions from the fum I have 

 allotted.
