 fuch drcumflances. And to the landlord 

 alfo in bringing his eftate into order, the 

 difference is great, for the fmailer the fields, 

 the more the expence of fences — -gates, &c. 

 The number of the arable fields on a 

 farm need not be more numerous than the 

 crops that compofe the courfe — one field 

 to each crop. Suppofe the courfe i tur- 

 nips, 2 barley, 3 clover, 4 wheat j four 

 fields would do for the whole arable ; 

 indeed, in fome cafes eight would be pre- 

 ferable, but only on account of being able, 

 without herdles, to feed half the clover and 

 mow half; which fmgle circumftance of 

 only one crop is not a reafon ftrong enough 

 for doubling the fences. But whatever be 



the courles, a field for winter corn one 



for fpring corn — one for turnips — one for 

 clover, and another for fallow, would I ap- 

 prehend do. But, without ftating fo few 

 divifions, it is clear enough, that there is 

 no occafion for the numerous inclofures to 



be found in moft old farms. The grafs 



fhould be divided into three or four divi^ 

 fions for convenience.
