in this cflimate, to confine the particulars 

 to fuch as are moft ftriking, and allow for 

 minuter articles. 



The fences in tliis farm muft be much 

 more numerous than in the preceding ones, 

 becaufe the ditches are the chief improve- 

 ment. 



I fuppofe the divifion as in Fig. II. 



In this {ketch there are 12 miles o£ 

 fencing, and ^6 fields, of 18 acres each. 



In 1 2 miles are 3840 perches. The dotted 

 lines reprefent fmall drains, the extent 36 

 miles, or 11,520 perches. 



Improvement.

*This price, in firm ground, would be too low ; but it is 

 high for foft marfh or bog land. 



t Thefe are to be planted on the bank of the earth 

 thrown out of the drains; but I do not mean them for 

 trees, but hedges, to be plafhed when high enough : white 

 thorn on dry foils is preferable, but not on fuch as thefe.
