The eighth farm in this lift, is the 300 

 acres, one third grafs, and two thirds arable^ 

 the proportion of which is a bviieficial 

 one ; but the 200 acres of arable muft 

 bring it, in a certain degree, within the dif- 

 advantages of arable farms. 



The ninth, is the farm improved with 

 marie, chalk, or clay ; the amount of labour 

 on which reduces the profit on it greatly. 



Laftly, comes the wet, cold, poor, loamy 

 foil improved, which yields a profit of no 

 more than g /. g s. per cent. : But it is to 

 be remembered, that if the gentleman, 

 after improving, lets this farm, his profit is 

 then greater. 



It appears, upon the whole, from the 

 refult of this chapter, that farming is an 

 extremely profitable bufmefs to a gentle- 

 jnan, when he throws his attention to fuch 

 farms as are adapted to his fituation in life. 

 By reviewing the table of comparifon be- 

 tv/een him and the common , farmer, we 

 find that the latter poflelTes, in every farm, 

 a fuperiority. From whence it furely ap- 

 pears, that he fhould attach himfelf to 

 fuch as come neareft the farmer, or to 

 thofe of an improved culture, in which 

 he can equal him.
