The capital pays 1 1 /. 31. per cent. 



I have made every allowance in this 

 account that the moll backward of my 

 improvers can demand. An account of 

 fuch foils, even w^hen in grafs, requiring 

 more manure than others, I have fketched 

 a great expcnce of horfes, labour, and 

 waggons, carts, &c. kept for the bufniefs 

 of manuring ; and for that purpofe alfo 

 fuppofed the flock to be cows ; whereas 

 the moll profitable ufe of a farm all grafs, 

 is to buy lean cattle in fpring, and fell 

 them out fat in autumn, which precludes 

 all expences of this fort. I have alfo under- 

 reckoned the produce ; I Ihould have allowed 

 a greater number of cows : In a word, the 

 |:eal profit of fuch a farm would, I am 

 confident, be much greater than I have 

 ilated it. 



But if, under the above circumllances of 

 farming, an abfolute walle, above 1 1 per 

 cent, is to be made, how much greater 

 would the prdfit be, if the land lay fo conti- 

 guous to other farms, as to enable the occu- 

 piers to hire it v/ithout the expence of 

 raifmg buildings, &c. f and yet this is the 

 cafe y/ith alraoll ever mu'irjide farmer in the 



north^
