ury, are added to thofe ufed upon the labour of a 

 farm, no credit will be due to this aflfertion. 



That a fufTicient capital is as neceflary in farm- 

 ing, as in any branch of commerce, mult be allow- 

 ed, but it does not hold good, that becaufe a man 

 has but a fmall capital, he ought not to be fuffered 

 to make ule of it at all ; fuch doctrine would be 

 abfurd, impolitic, and inhuman. 



That a large capital is more equal to great im- 

 provements, than a fmall one, is felf evident j but, 

 except in fome few in fiances, I cannot fee why 

 the latter fhould not keep pace, in a propor- 

 tionate degree, at leaft, with the former. Re- 

 flecting flock, no one can prefume to lay, that 

 a little farmer can fet a fold fo well as a great far- 

 mer, but he generally keeps more milch cows, in 

 proportion, than the latter, which makes ample 

 amends to the public. 



As to corn, I am not inclined, even in this in- 

 flance, to allow, that better crops are grown by 

 the great, than the fmall farmer, unlefs it be by 

 means of the former having a (heep-walk, or fome 

 Other fimilar advantage over the latter ; upon this 

 particular point, I fhall refer to the comment of 

 Mr. Cole, of Loddon (a). 



So far, I have endeavoured to carry on a com- 

 parative ftatement between great and lmall fauns,
