 that is 34 weeks, I allow the four 8 buftiels 

 a week, or 272 buftiels;' which, at 4<jrs,

As to the crops which I have fuppofed, 

 they are, I am -confident, fuch as cannot be 

 objected to, being rather below than over 

 the truth j for the manuring I fuppofe is - 

 certainly confiderable ; 20 loads of good 

 towQ-ames or dung, and all the ditch-earth 

 fo well managed, if they do not produce 

 fuch crops as I have fketched, will yield 

 nothing.

 but then in that milling is included the af- 

 ternoon employed about the horfes : I charge 

 this work at I s. per acre, becaufe in fum- 

 mer more than an acre may be done in a 



day : however, here is fcarce any 



fu miner
