[ J 33 ] 



Having thus brought thefe various arti- 

 cles of intelligence into one point of view, 

 I fhall, in the next place, endeavour to 

 throw them into particular lights, reipect- 

 ing the mod material of their variations. I 

 mail mow the ftate of tillage on three 

 foils, /and, loam, clay, which include all 

 others; and is as much as to fay, light, 

 middling, heavy. By prefenting a view of 

 each particular on thefe foils, firft, we mall 

 difcover whether the ftrength of the foil is 

 the rule that guides the conduct of tillage : 

 Whenfoever four or five, five or fix, &c. 

 &c. are ufed, I mall always divide them, 

 though I be forced to make a fuppoiition 

 of half a horfe ; the general average will 

 not carry the face of fuch a feeming ab- 

 furdity, though particular inftances may. 

 Horfes and oxen I mull; fuppofe the fame, 

 and where the foil is various, the medium, 

 viz. loam, muft be taken.
