Inclofing with ftone walls 6 s. per rood 

 of 7 yards. Building a tiled barn of three 

 bays 45 feet long, 15 broad and 10 high 

 to the fquare, of ftone and fir timber, 35 /. 

 Buildings for a farm of 200 acres and two 

 cottages 200 /. 



There are in many parts of England 

 fainfoine farms, but I think it more advife- 

 able, to have a portion of arable to each 

 farm, to fave the fainfoine hay in winter j 

 the ufe the crop is moftly put to, (where 

 all is not made into hay) is the feeding 

 cows ; feme very confidLjabJe dairies are 

 fed totally on it. In every farm, I fliall 

 fuppofe, one-third arable, and two-thirds 

 fainfoine i the cattle kept by the latter will 

 manure the former, fo as to yield very be- 

 neficial crops of turnips and barley alter- 

 nately. Of the former, three q..arters^^r 

 acrcj and the latter worth 30j-. an acre, 

 fed on the land, which is the account of 

 Sir Digby himfelf; fuch farms are very 

 defi! cable ones, and cannot fail of being 

 very profitable to the occupiers.
