The gentleman's ditto, JT. 13 4 o 



The ditto on 50 acres, J 9 80 



Upon this companion, it is in general to 

 be remarked, that the {mail farm is, in the 

 hands of the gentleman, almoft as advan- 

 tageous as the larger one in thofe of the 

 farmer, which is a great difference ; for if 

 the gentleman, by means of thefe improve- 

 ments, gains fo large a produce as to pay 

 all the difadvantages he is charged with in 

 comparifon with the farmer, and yet fecure 

 a profit nearly equal to his, and at the 

 fame time effects this upon half the num- 

 ber of acres, whereby his attention is 

 contracted, his trouble much leflened, and 

 his whole bufmefs fimplified ; if he can 

 do this, the method, undoubtedly, is much 

 worthy attention. 



I have not here proved that this is pof- 

 fible, becaufe I am not at prefent regiilering 

 experiments; but I draw up thefe calcu- 

 lations on the foundation of experiments 

 which I have either made myfelf, or been 

 acquainted with of others. All that is 

 here luppofed has undoubtedly been ex- 

 ceeded in real practice.
