after wheat. I muſt confeſs myſelf ignorant of the ave- rage produce from the open fields, having never been con- cerned in their culture. The crops, however, generally appear to be pretty good; but the great queſtion to be

aſked, is, whether they are obtained at ſuch a given rate of

expence, as inſures as much profit to the landlord and

tenant, as is capable of being had from the land; and this,

one may venture to fſay, is not the caſe; for, independent of the defect in ſyſtem, and of the great inconvenience that attends the diſperſed and intermixed ſtate of property, the buildings, are in many caſes, inconveniently ſituated for the occupation of the land; and, of courſe, whatever is pro- duced, muſt be had at an expence, conſiderably beyond what would be neceſſary, in caſe the contiguity and conve-

nience, which generally attach themſelves to incloſed farms, were eſtabliſhed.
