IS more important. But when every work 

 is properly proportioned to each other; one 

 part aflifls the other, and every part con- 

 fequently gains : the exa^l feafon is always 

 taken— — ^— you have a command of men 



of all forts your work is cheaper, and 



at the fame time better done. 



One material point in my propofition, is 

 an improved fiock of (liccp for folding; but 

 the grafs which 1 faw in various parts that 

 had been taken from the moors had nevex' 

 known a fold fmce the day it was created. 



Upon the whole, the advantages of pro- 

 ceeding with a due fpirit in the affair of 

 improving moors, are clear and decilive ; 

 the profit m.ufl inevitably be vaflly greater, 

 than from an annual m,oderate expendi- 

 ture. Let a narrow-wheeled waggon and 

 4 horfes, and two men be fixed on as the 

 very firfc criterion of the extent of the im- 

 provement ; and all other things propor- 

 tioned to it. The improver will then find 

 (under the given circumiftances of the 

 moors now under confideration) that he 

 mufl take in a farm of not lefs than 8o 

 acres of land every year: and put 3147/. 

 in his pocket, the firfl: day of his under- 

 taking.
