per sack, or 5s. a bushel, the complexion of the calculation is 

 a good deal altered for the better. A few years ago we used

 century prices went up to 12s. or 15s. a bushel, and the 

 expenses were much the same as now with the exception of 

 the seed. Let us then hope for better prices and better 

 times for English agriculturists.
