I appeal to all real praclical hufband- 

 men, whether they are not obliged, from 

 the neceflity of the cafe, to have a moft 

 watchful eye to their wheat, &c. &c. &c. 

 under all the circumftances I ftated above. 



I have digreffed Into this inftance only 

 as one in many wherein corn-farms are 

 open to peculiar difadvantages to gentle- 

 men : And I may from hence conclude 

 once more, as I have often done before, 

 that we muft confider fuch farms under 

 more dedudions than that of 2 7 per cent, 

 on the labour, although that is the only 

 one we can reduce to calculation. The 

 great point to be deduced from thefe re- 

 marks is, that fuch dedudions, not reducible 

 to eftimate, lie always on the fame farms 

 with that of the 2^ per cent, when higheft; 

 or, in other words, on thofe farms which 

 employ moft labour. I am fpeaking here 

 only of common hufbandry ; confequently, 

 in the compariibn between the farms, the 

 contraft is in reality vaftly ftronger than it 

 there appears, and is a very powerful ar- 

 gument againft common arable farms for 

 gentlemen. They were found much the 

 moft beneficial to common farmers; how 

 much more fo muft they be to gentlemen ?
