cost of the implements. Should, however, the pasture-land, 
whether on a clay or a lijjht subsoil, be rich enough to carry 
cattle of a larger size, more money must be allowed for their 
purchase than 1 have before specified. There will, however, be 
no diderence in the value of the sheep. But, to make this l*>ssay 
more generally applicable and available, I will give the following 
estimate for 70 acres of such pasture-land, divided as before into 
seven fields of 10 acres each, which, with 30 acres for mowing, 
will make altogether 100 acres. The first fattening-field of 
10 acres will therefore require — 
£. s. d. 
8 beast, at 13?. each £104 0 0 
10 sheep, at 21. 10s. each 25 0 0 
. 129 0 0 
The second fattening field of 10 acres : — 
The same as the above, at a cost of 129 0 0 
The two fields of 10 acres each for dairying, allowing IJ acres to 
each cow, will require : — 
] 5 cows, at 151. each 225 0 0 
The first store-field of 10 acres : — 
7 beast, at 111. each 77 0 0 
15 sheep, at 2?. 10s. each 37 10 0 
■ 114 10 0 
The second store-field of 10 acres : — 
The same as the above, at a cost of 114 10 0 
The third store-field of 10 acres : — 
The same as the above 114 10 0 
For the puri)0se of coni]>arison, I shall add the same amount I 
liave previously stated for pigs, 121. 10s. ; sheep on vetches, 
168?. ; and horses, 210? 390 10 0 
Total £1217 0 0 
The total capital therefore required for the profitable occupa- 
tion of a clay-farm of 200 acres of medium richness, as first 
mentioned, will be —

Live Stock 1013 0 0 
Cultivatiuns 263 18 4 
Labour 1G3 6 0 
Imj^lements 206 17 2

Or, in round numbers, 8?. 10s. per acre. 
For a clay-farm of 200 acres, with a richer description of 
pasture-land —
