 ought to be done at once. Improvements 

 are made and profitably in this manner, 

 but it is abfolutely impoflible they fhould

 the work is proportioned : a team of 4 

 horfes is employed, and never to be idle > 

 this decides the quantity of walling, of par-

 pofe a gsntleman fixes 4 horfes on a moor, 

 and he finds that the proportioning his 

 work in this manner will take too much

 improvement will be done, all proportions 

 will at once be broke, the team will wait 

 for every on^, — the building will wait for 

 the walling — the walling for the paring, 

 and all \v\\{ at once languifn. To remedy 

 this, only two horfes will perhaps be fet 

 at work, then will a man be employed with 

 a paltry cart to fetch lime, at 40 per cent,
