In this estimate, Mr. Editor, I do not conceive that I rec koned either the value ofthe turnip-crop too high at 51. 55. ox the crop of barley too great on'an average o0 JAUde that will let in this county at 155. per acre. The rate of expences I have put down at the usval given im this county, and according to the accustomed mode of tillage adopted by us. Now even substractung the odd 58. 1td. itrom the profits, for accidental charges, Een as Stacking, thatehing,'and harrow- 109 a little more, drilling barley,&c. tlere will remain 61. clear profit, or 31, each year.
