deep, put-rid, friable, sandy loam ; and it cnnn 

 be too rich. It further demands ample manur- 

 ing ; that is, from 2O to 30 loads of dung per 

 acre, equal to 40 cubical yards by measure. It 

 is true, that it will pay for this dung, but every 

 one knows that in calculations there is apt to creep 

 in (in the point of charging dung) some degree of 

 fallacy. Wherever spread, there, probably, will 

 be the greatest profit ; and if hemp, hops, mad- 

 der, &c. rob the more common crops of clung, 

 which, but for tbeir culture, would be disposed of 

 otherwise, it is no easy matter to charge them for 

 it sufficiently high. If hemp enters largely ' 

 a farm (which it rarely does, and for this reason), 

 the cabbages, potatoes, lucerne, &c. must be con- 

 trailed. 



Another very material circumstance is, that 



j * 



hemp returns nothing to the farm wherewith to 

 raise dung : corn gives straw, and ;_ 

 the dunghill ; from hemp the farmer gets nothing 

 of this sort. 



Hence, the husbandman that looks only to the 

 profit on the estimate, however fairly it may be 

 drawn up, will not have the subject before him in 

 all its bearings : he must n ' efore lo- 



gins. If, upon the wh->le, he thinks the under- 

 taking advisable, he will in the next place attend 

 to the circumstances of the culture. 



Soil. This should be the richest on the farm ; 

 deep, moist, friable, putrid : if none of that de- 

 scription, any deep, good sandy loam, worth 3Os.
