124 THfc PRACTICE OF THE 



only three (hillings an acre, is, for ten actes, 

 thirty (hillings. And feed-wheat for the other 

 ten acres, twenty-five bufhels, at five (hil- 

 lings per bumel, is 61. 5 s. Reaping the 

 wheat, five (hillings per acre, 2!. los. In 

 all, 15 1. 53. The crop is twenty bufhels an 

 acre, which is two hundred bufhels on the teri 

 acres, at 5 s. per bufliel, is 50 1. from which 

 deducing the rent and expences, 15!. 55* 

 there remains 34!. 155. clear profit on the 

 twenty acres. In the Drill- Hufbandry, the 

 whole twenty acres produces every year a 

 crop of wheat ; and the land being deep 

 horfe-hoed, and no weeds, will produce twenty 

 bulhels of wheat per acre at leaft, Or as much 

 as it does with the (hallow ploughing in the 

 Alternate Hufbandry ; and fo much Mr. 

 TulFs ordinary land did produce, on a me- 

 dium of about ninety acres ; and his meafure 

 was the common meafure of that country, 

 viz. nine gallons to the bulhel; fo that his 

 crop was about twenty-two bumels and a half 

 per acre, Winchefler meafure ; though his 

 land that year was not in the bed order, on 

 account of his being difappointed of a tenant^ 

 as was taken notice of above. Now we have 

 (hewn, that eight bumels of wheat paid all 

 Mr. Craik's expences of cultivating an acre of 

 his land, viz. of a~?Scotch acre, which is an 

 acre and a quarter Englifh ; and, if fo much is 

 reckoned here per acre, there will remain a 



profit
