1 94- Cottage Gardens, live Stock of the Cottager, 



By the above calculation, the labourer of the second class is provided with 

 vegetables, pork, eggs, and milk for his family throughout the year, and 

 has a balance over expenses of 61. 18s. M., being 61. 2s. M. more than the 

 first class, which makes him a more profitable and productive consumer. 

 Thus, if 1000 such were established in any one county, and to lay out each 

 on an average 31. (putting the remainder in the savings bank for old age), 

 3000/. more would be in circulation in that part of the country, as it would 

 be laid out in extra food and clothing amongst the small tradesmen, who 

 always keep the money in circulation from one to another ; which, I pre- 

 sume to assert, would do more real good to the country than 20,000/. paid 

 to a landlord or a merchant, who perhaps has nothing else to do with it 

 but lay it up in his coffer, or put it in the bank and receive the interest, 

 where it continues accumulating without ever being above 1 per cent value 

 to the public. 



III. How much land will maintain a family with pork, vegetables, eggs, milk, 

 and bread corn ? 



A quarter of an acre of land added to the cottager's of the second class, 

 will be plenty for supplying him with the above necessaries. The arrange- 

 ment is shown in Plan 5.
