 another light. 



The 100 acres half grafs and half arable 

 and the Bo arable acres laid down to grafs,

 cent, difference. For the preceding rea- 

 fons, the latter is the moft beneficial. 



The three laft farms are alfo upon an 

 equality ; one 80 acres, 60 grafs, and 

 20 arable ; one all arable ; and the other 

 60 arable, laid down to grafs. The laft 

 certainly the beft. 



The variations, in the fum required to 

 ftock thefe farms, are fome of them pretty 

 confiderable ; thefe do not affect the profit 

 per cent, but muft be regarded in the en- 

 quiry, 'what fum is requifiteforfuch a farm ? 

 To have fquared the calculations fo as each 

 fum might have been the fame, might have 

 been done ; but the eftimates would not have 

 been fo genuine, nor would the proportions 

 between the methods on a given number of 

 acres, appear near fo dear as at prefent ; a 

 point which is not a little ufeful. 



1 8 /. 4 s. per cent, which is the greateft 

 profit made in any of thefe farms is not con- 

 fiderable ; not fo much indeed as I think it 



ought
