London to John OGroafs. 



Brought forward 7,750 



200 fat pigs = 40,000 Ibs., at 4d 666 



22,500 bushels of wheat at 6s 6,750 



9,375 oats at 2s 937 - 



7,500 barley at 3s 1,125 z 



Total of these estimated items 17,228 



This, of course, is a mere estimate of the principal 

 sources of income upon which Mr. Jonas depends for 

 a satisfactory result of his balance-sheet. Each item is 

 probably within the mark. I have put down the crop of 

 wheat of 750 acres at the average of 30 bushels per 

 acre, and at 6s. per bushel, which are quite moderate 

 figures. I have assumed 375 acres each for barley and 

 oats, estimating the former at 40 bushels per acre, and 

 the latter at 50 ; then reserving half of the two crops 

 for feeding and fatting the live stock; also all the 

 beans, peas, and roots for the same purpose. If the 

 estimate is too high on some items, the products sold^ 

 and not enumerated in the foregoing list, such as cole 

 and other seeds, will rectify, perhaps, the differences, 

 and make the general result presented closely approxi- 

 mate to the real fact. 



As there is probably no other farm in Great Britain 

 of the same size so well calculated to test the best 

 agricultural science and economy of the day as the 

 great occupation of Mr. Jonas, and as I am anxious 

 to convey to American farmers a well -developed idea
