The extreme manuring of this farni, it 

 is to be remarked, fucceeds a paring and 

 burning, and ample liming. Common 

 farmers, upon the credit of thefe alone, 

 reap many fucceffive and great crops of 

 corn ; but, on the contrary, all thefe trea- 

 fures are preferved in the earth, and fuch 

 plentiful manuring is added to them, that 

 the exhaufting crops bear no proportion to 

 the fund of fertility prepared for them. 

 Thus the whole farm is in a continual 

 increafe of fertility, which is a point of 

 infinite importance ; for all the crops muft 

 infallibly increafe In proportion ; confe- 

 quently, there will be an annual increafe « 

 of cattle, and this again increafes dung, 

 and brings round the circle of confequences 

 yet quicker. The profit of a farm once 

 brought into fuch a fituation, and con- 

 dud:ed upon fuch a plan as I have fketched,- 

 with a particular attention to fow no more 

 exhaufting crops than here minuted, would 

 be immenfe, far beyond what I have 

 deduced, great as that may appear. 



An annual income of above 7400 /. 



arifmg from a capital of 21,000 /.is a 



greater degree of fuccefs than which, I 



I apprehendy
