CHAP. I. In larger farms, where the foil is good, and the climate fa-

no vourable, fewer die will be required; and when the farms are fmaller, or the foil and climate lefs favourable, more will proportionally be neceflar y.

To raife 13 millions of quarters of grain for fale, would, according to the above calculation, require the labour of at

1,560,000 people, old and young; and their maintenance,

]

| the rate of two quarters to each_— being added to that

quantity, will make up the general yearly confumpt of 16

millions of quarters.

But befide the farmers, who raïfe grain for fale,(without including millers, ER factors, a others employed en- nl 1= tirely in the corn trade), there muft be at leaft two hundred

- thoufand families of cottagers in Great Britain, who raife as

much corn as ferves their own famihes only, and whofe land-

rents are paid by other branches of their induftry; and allow-

ing 5 to each of their families, there cannot in all be fewer

D

1 herd, x hind or labourer for threfhing corn,&c, and

2 children to tend the lefler animals.

‘The cattle and live-flock neceffary for work, or to be reared for profit, may be con fidered to confift of at leaft, 4 work horfes, and a riding horfe, or 8 oxen in place of the 4 horfes, for work; 6 cows and their produétion for three years, and about 50 fheep; and that the farm will befides feed Q

3 hogs and two breeders, with poultry,&c.
