 i^eral management is there fo execra- 

 ble, in many particulars, that I fhould 

 not be greatly iurprized if their farms 

 were found inferior, under the allowance 

 of every advantage whatever. But event 

 to this general want of merit, an ad- 

 vantage is oppofed; that of occupying and 

 flocking foils, which, but for the divi- 

 fion into exceffive large tenures, would 

 not be occupied at all. In a country, 

 where the exigence of a farmer is fome 

 degree of merit, and alone depending on 

 his being a great one, we muft not too 

 critically compare him with his fmalleir 

 brethren in- richer foils. 



General Recapitulation* 



Firji. The larger the farms, the fewer 

 the draught cattle. 



Second. The fmaller the farms, the greater 

 the number of cows. 



Third. Middling farms, (from three hun- 

 dred to five hundred,) have 

 near three times more fatting 

 cattle than fmaller ones, and 

 near five times as many as 

 larger ones. 



Fourth. That farms from three to four 

 hundred acres keep moft young 



cattle >
