In thefe improvements, as in thofe of 

 the moors, I recommend to landlords to 

 become farmers, no further than requifite 

 for improve?72c?it : that is, bringing the land 

 into fuch a ftate, that farmers will hire it. 

 Purfuant to which idea, it is neceffary, as 

 before, to inclofe a farm every year, and 

 to let one every year, when once the rota- 

 tion comes in courfe. 



The grand improvement I fhall propofe 

 for thefe dry foils, is fainfoine j and herein 

 I offer nothing that has not facceeded very 

 greatly already on the fame foil, under the 

 conduct of fpirited improvers in fome 

 parts, and is actually common hufbandry 

 in other trads. In the weft of England^ 

 it is in every common farm, but through- 

 out the north, it is generally unknown j 

 but I am particularly fortunate in this 

 point, for the experiments of Sir DigEy 

 Legardy upon this culture, are fo perfed:ly 

 fatisfaclory, that they furniQi me with 

 data too clear to be difputed. They are 

 as foliov/ :
