At whatfoever time the work is begun, 

 let it be a particular attention to difpatch 

 it as faft as pofilble ; with plenty of money 

 in hand, and an a<5live fpirit, I think fix 

 months fufficient to improve moft farms 

 ■ a year for any in the kingdom. Build- 

 ing muft be done in fummer ; whereas 

 fencing muft be executed in winter ; this 

 renders a year neceflary, in which fpace of 

 time, from one to two thoufand acres may, 

 I am confident, be eafily brought into 

 complete order. 



But one point of great confequence is, 

 the taking proper meafures to be able to 

 execute the fcheme fpeedily ; if a perfon 

 expects the bufmefs to be done by his old 

 carpenters, mafons, labourers, ^c. he will 

 be miferably deceived. Let the undertaker 

 by all means contrail with feveral artificers 

 of the fame trade at once, each, for in- 

 ftance, to undertake a farm ; and let him 

 take ca/e that they are tied to time as well 

 as work. A great number of labourers 

 fhould alfo be taken into pay by the piece, 

 at rates that will yield them better earn- 

 ings than the common pay of the country: 

 a fmall rife upon this, will enfiire any 



iiumbcr that may be wanted. A fuffi-
