SECT. I. FARMS. 



UPON this subje^l we must divide the county gene- 

 rally into two parts — the dry soils and the wet ones. Upon 

 the former the farms are large, and upon the latter much 

 smaller. 



The rich distri^fls which, though dry enough for tur- 

 nips, are strong enough for yielding great crops of wheat, 

 possess some moderately-sized farms, such as from 400 to 

 600 acres ; but many smaller. The wet land is more 

 commonly held in small occupations. The poorer sands 

 are usually in very extensive farms.
