Upon this fyftem of hufbandry, it is in 

 general to be remarked, firft, That the 

 rent, 8 j-. per acre, muft certainly be a 

 rent of favour, not of value, fince the 

 difproportion between that and the pro- 

 ducts is obvious. The courfes 1. tur- 

 nips, 2. barley, 3. clover, 4. wheat; and 

 I. fallow, 2. barley, 3. clover, 4. wheat, 

 cannot be too much commended. But 

 1. fallow, 2. wheat, 3. beans, 4. wheat, 

 is very bad ; and execrably fo, where the 

 beans are not hoed : Eighteen bufhels 

 per acre of that pulfe from fuch good 

 land fpeaks fumciently the evil of the 

 conduct. Mr. Payne's imitation difplays 

 much better hufbandry ; this wretched 

 culture of beans, when tlefigned as a pre- 

 paration for wheat, was one caufe of Lord 

 Rockingham's being anxious to fet an ex- 

 ample of the Kentifh hufbandry ; fo much 



fupcrior
