APPENDIX. 227 



The third, fuppofed to be bought at Harlefton in Decem- 

 ber, a lean beaft of the fame age as the firft, price 7I. He 

 goes immediately to draw and offal turnips for about eight 

 weeks, at is. 6d. which is 12s. ; then he goes to full keeping 

 at turnips by day, and lies in the draw yards at night, about 

 ten weeks, at 2s. 6d. which is il. 5s. ; he is then put into the 

 fecond year's lay or good pafture till harveft, about twenty 

 weeks, at 3s. per week, which is 3L ; this brings him to 

 ill. 17s. — he will then generally be about forty-fix ftonc, 

 at 5s. 6d. which will amount to 12I. 13s. 



The fair deduction to be made from this ftatement is, that 

 the firft pays 10 per cent, intercft upon the capital laid out, 

 and alfo a fair price for every thing he confumes. 



The fecond returns no intercft for the original coft, but 

 pays a fair price for what he confumes. 



The third pays 15 per cent, for the original fum laid out, 

 befides paying like the reft for what he confumes. 



It fhould fcem at firft view of this ftatement, that there is 

 fo little profit attending this fyftem of grazing, that it is not 

 a procefs to be recommended; but if we confider the advan- 

 tage which the fucceeding crops owe to it, in confcqucncc of 

 the great quantity of manure, to fay nothing of the advantage 

 of treading, which on a light foil is a vaft tiling, we Ihall be 

 fatisfied of the great advantage derived from it. 



It may not be amifs to obferve, however, that it is obvious 

 that the rcafon why the fecond does not pay in fo large a 

 piopoition as the other, is owing to his being longer in hand.
