pay a great rent in grafs. All cold wet 

 foils do very well in grafs, but very badly 

 in arable : prodigious tracls of fuch land, 

 that will bring but from y s. to \o s, an 

 acre under the plough, would readily let 

 for 20 5. in grafs. An improver will in

 profit as by this article of laying much 

 arable land down to grafs. 



Half and half on arable farms is not a 



bnd proportion. Two-thirds grafs, and 



cne-tbird arable is a better — and in many 

 foils three-fourths grafs, is highly advife- 

 tible.^— There are fome objections to t«tal 

 grafs farms in certain cafes j if a part of 

 the land is dry enough for turnips, the 

 tenant by all means fliould be able to have 

 a field of them every year ; two fields ara- 

 ble would for that purpofe be fufficicnt, 

 one every year in turnips, and the other in 

 corn. In cafe the land is clay, the fame 

 might be done with cabbages, in cafe the 

 tenant would ufe them j one field would 

 be fufficient. They might be planted on 

 the farae land every year, and the crops 

 would each year be better than the pre- 



ceding.
