of eight hundred or one thoufand pounds 

 a-year is too fully employed with the out- 

 lines of managemer.t to attend fufficiently 

 tOMiNUTii^, much lefs to conceive and e:jf:e- 

 cute ufeful improvements* His beft ma- 

 nagement is to prefs forward in the beaten 

 track of the country he farms in ; depending 

 upon the amplenefs of his bufinefs to make 

 up the deficiencies arifing from the unavoid- 

 able ncgleft of minutial matters. 



The CHARACTERISTIC OF FARMS IH thc 



Vale is crass, with a fmaller proportion of 

 arable land. 



Formerly, thc area of the Vale was princi- 

 pally grafs, and thc margins open arable 

 fields. Now, the latter is inclofed, and prin- 

 cipally applied to the ufe of the dairy ; 

 while the former is much of it fubjedcd to 

 arable. management. 



Upon the whole, although the admixture 

 of Au ABLE be confiderable, the Vale in a ge- 

 neral point of view comes under the deno- 

 mination of A GRASSLAND COUNTRY.
