OF NORFOLK. I35 



I will, however, admit, though I am an advo- 

 cate for fmall farms, that, as the country is now 

 fituated, no farm fhould be under 30I. or 40I. a 

 year, and even thefe fhould be dairy farms, nor 

 would I have any arable farm under 50I. I will 

 flill go farther, and lay, that the greateit number 

 fhould be from 80I. a year to 150I. none ought to 

 exceed 200I. where the land is of a good quality ; 

 or 500I. even upon the poorelt land, where great 

 farms, on account of a large flock of fheep, are 

 moll admiffible. The greater the difference in 

 their fize, between the preceding extremes, per- 

 haps, the better, as they will better play into each 

 other's profits ; fome will raife cattle to more ad- 

 vantage than they can fat them, and others will 

 fat them to more advantage than they can raife 

 them. 



I have made thefe remarks with freedom, but I 

 truft, with temper and good manners to thofe of an 

 oppofite opinion, and flia.ll be happy, if what I 

 have advanced mould have any effect upon thole 

 in whofe power it lies to correct the grievance 

 complained of.
