Such gentlemen as have the command of 

 a dry, found, improved clay, that is not 

 a perfed flat, but floping fome way, need 

 not fear the making of it, by means of 

 cabbages and lucerne, as great a profit, and 

 in many inftances greater than I have 

 ficetched ; and if they do not poffefs fuch a 

 foil of their own, they need not fear giving 

 a very high rent to others for it: The 

 profit which the account of this farm leaves, 

 is great enough to. pay a higher rent than 

 any -foil in England, of that fort, bears 

 in common : I am confident, that noble 

 fortunes may be made by this manage- 

 ment. 



The next farm, is the clay one, of 600 

 acres, one third grafs and two thirds arable> 

 in which cabbages are introduced in a 

 courfe : This pays 0,0 per cent. Through- 

 out all thefe calculations, this hufbandry 

 on rich clay foils has appeared to be ex- 

 tremely profitable ; and for the intro- 

 dudion of only one extra crop in four, I 

 apprehend no better one can be difcovered 

 than cabbages, which much more than 

 throw clay foils upon a par with turnip 

 ones, in the maintainance of great flocks of 



cattle.
