ten loads per acre. Thus the whole farm, 

 corn, grafs, roots, clover, every thing, is 

 manured every year. Under luch a circum- 

 ftance, it would have been very abfurd 

 not to rate the crops at a. height, which, in 

 compariron with the efFeds of common 

 management, appears extravagant; but the 

 rule of common management has nothing 

 to do with farms conducted in io perfed a 

 manner. The clover, turnips, cabbages, 

 and carrots, are all ameliorating crops, of 

 themfelves beneficial to the land, without 

 confidering the ufe they are applied to. 

 Thefe am.ount to 742 acres ; whereas the 

 wheat and fpring-corn, which arc the only 

 exhaufting ones in the whole farm, amount 

 but to 424. Further, all the turnips, and 

 a part of the cabbages, are fed off with the 

 fheep ; confequently, that part of the farqi 

 is every year doubly manured ; and yet only 

 the turnip-land is fucceedcd by an exhauft- 

 ing crop. Inftead of eftimating the fpring- 

 corn at fix quarters, I am confident I 

 ought to have rated it much higher ; for it 

 is fuppoled every year to grov/ almofl in a 

 dunghill.
