I apprehend, fo high as many cIrcumPcances 

 might carry it, and which I expert will 

 hereafter appear in the fame farms on 

 larger fcales. The reafon why the profit 

 per cent, on this farm is fo much lower 

 than that of cabbages in a courfe, is the 

 great expence of the carrot-crop, which is 

 the heavieft of any we have hitherto cal- 

 culated. The reader may eafily vary the 

 account to fuit any particular county, 

 where the hoeing can be performed at a 

 lefs chargeable rate; there are many fuch. 

 About Woodbridge in Suffolk, where they 

 are commonly cultivated, they are hoed 

 thrice for I5r. ; but then the carrot-culture 

 there has been in ufe time out of mind, 

 and the work is done by the great at 

 prices that have long been common and 

 fixed, as hoeing turnips is in many coun« 

 ties. Wherever the culture is not com- 

 mon, no man will be able to get it done 

 for any fuch price. It cofl me in Suf-

 ■was \L 10 J. That no gentleman might 

 be deceived in forming too flattering an 

 idea, I have reckoned 3 /. per acre for 

 hoeing: for that fum it may be done in a 

 truly hulband-like aud accurate manner.
