LETTER VIII. 



EFORE I quit the fubjea of this 

 kind of moor, I fliall offer another 

 calculation for the ufe of the fmaller land- 

 holders ; in which I lliall examine the leafi 

 extent of improvement that can profitably 

 be undertaken : this is a matter of much 

 confequence, form.any landlords and ethers 

 might poiiibly be induced to cultivate a 

 fmall q-jantity of miOor at a time, if they 

 were convinced that it would not be too 

 expcnfive to am'V/er in fmali : I (hall there- 

 fore, examine this point, and difcover the 

 profit that may be expecled from the con- 

 duel. 



I fhall fuppofe only 20 acres broken up 

 the firil: year. Four horfes will be requifite 

 for bringing lime, but I fhall ftate but 

 one man and a plough. As the buildings 

 will clear away many fcones, the 20 acres 

 ihall be in one piece : lefs than one man 

 and one plough cannot befuppofed; I fee 

 not how a fmaller improvement can be 

 {ketched.
