 that is of feeing every cart fairly filled, I

 farmer driving his own team will forward

 the waggon goes once or twice a-day, the 

 difference between the farmer and the 

 gentleman is juft 50 per cent.

 done at home, fuch as carting ftubble, 

 wood, herdles, turnips, ftraw, hay, (in 

 winter) &c. &c. will be all infinitely in fa-

 reafon, he will croud, them together, and 

 make out a complete day's work; whereas 

 the gentleman's fervants will divide them 

 yet more, to have -the more broken idle
