allotment for manure is needed. The aim should'be to feed 

 the bullocks well with oilcake and the natural manure 

 of cattle, fallowing, growing of leguminous crops and 

 returning to the land the straw in the form of litter 

 mixed with urine, should be the main stay. But in growing 

 special crops such as tobacco, mulberry, sugarcane, potatoes, 

 manuring is essential. The equipment needed in each case 

 thus depends on the land chosen, the crops chosen, and the 

 system of farming adopted. In dairy farming again no 

 allotment is necessary for manure, and proportionately less 

 allotment is needed for bullocks, farm labourers, ordinary 

 agricultural implements, but for stocking the land with 

 suitable cows, for providing fodder at all seasons, for equip- 

 ping a proper dairy, special allotments are needed. Then 

 again the allotment for buildings and implements should be 

 proportionately higher for a small farm than for a large farm. 

 If Rs. 10 per acre is set apart for buildings, Rs. ro per acre 

 ^for .implements and Rs. 10 per acre for cattle for a 5oo-aere 

 farm, and Rs. 50 per acre per annum for working the farm, 

 though Rs. io per acre for cattle and Rs. 50 per acre per 

 annum for expenses, will answer for a xo-acre farm, Rs. io 

 per acre for buildings and Rs. io per acre for implements 

 will not suffice for a lo-acre farm. Local circumstances alsp 

 determine cost. In healthy localities cheap buildings answer. 

 In places close to town there are certain special facilities and 

 disadvantages. 



242. In an experimental farm again, where the fodder, 

 the dung, the urine etc., have to be weighed ; where small 

 lots of corn have to be separately thrashed, dried, weighed 

 and stored, where detailed accounts of experiments have to 

 be recorded, more money must be spent on the supervising 

 staff and labour force, if the experiments are to give really 

 reliable results. 



243. As the circumstances may thus vary almost infinite- 

 ly, as we will separately estimate the cost of growing each
