Thefe are the great objects of improve^ 

 ment. If a gentleman does not chufe the 

 trouble of farming the land till it is laid 

 down in grafs, he may flop here and let the 

 farm, leaving to the tenant (under proper 

 reftridiions) to reap the profit of the whole. 

 Upon this plan we will next ftate the whole 

 expence.

Having form.ed this calculation, I was 

 very dcfirous of knovv'ing what the land 

 in that fituation would let for ; and with 

 this view I applied to Mr. 'Danhy^ who con- 

 fulted not only his fteward, but feveral 

 farmers: I likewife afked the opinion of 

 other gentlemen, who had attended pecu- 

 liarly to thefe matters : Several aflerted that 

 fo complete a farm, in fuch excellent repair, 

 and lb thoroughly fenced, all the land im- 

 proved, and manured, v%^ould let with the 

 utmofl eafe for 15 j-. per acre : Others reckon- 

 ed 1 2 J. the value; and ibme thought lox. 

 would be an adequate rent : The latter is 

 evidently beneath all reafon ; but, however, 

 I fliall take it into the calculation, and ftrike 

 the average of the three, or I2i, bd. per 



acre ;
