fidence for a time, if they are well paid. 

 Some landlords, who own feveral thousands 

 of acres of land, have talked to me of the 

 difficulty of getting turnep-hoers. Were I 

 porTerled of a tenth of their eftates, I would 

 have them from Indus, rather than go 

 without them : But the difficulty is no- 

 thing, a little refolution and money would 

 overcome luch paltry objections *. They 

 fhould never fufFer an acre of turncps to be 

 feen on their own land that was not hoed 

 in the laft perfection, except here and there 

 a {tripe left quite unhoed, for the tenants 

 to fee the difference. This has been the 

 plan of that excellent cultivator, the Mar- 

 quis of Rockingham, who carried good ho- 

 ers from the fouth, and, by fpirited exer- 

 tions, brought the practice, by degrees, 

 to bear, and will, in time, render the tur- 

 nep crops around Went worth as clean as any 

 in England. Much does his country owe 

 to fuch a conduct ! 



In the next place, landlords ought to 

 obviate all the objections of their tenr.nts ; 

 procure them hoes (none on any account 

 fhorter than ten inches) and hoers, that no 

 excufes under thofe heads may be made by 

 them ; and if they have a pernicious butcher 



* I have fome reafon for this remark : In Hertford- 

 Jhire no plough ftirs without four horfes ant! a driver, 

 except my Ovvn. I have ploughs, horfes, and men, 

 from Suffolk, and if [ \\\ irj the Highlands of Scot- 



\ I would have good tui"--< j - hcers.
