Now an English farmer, w ith a certain capital, rents a farm, as a manufacturer rents a house, and devotes his ca|)ital to extract from it the greatest possible produce. Accordingly his proci'fdings seem almost incredible f the possessors of lai*gc American farms. It has become a settled maxim of English husbandry, that before occupying good arable land, a capital of from thirty to forty dollars per acre is necessary. On an estate of three hundred acres, there- fore, a farmer begins by expendin...g in preparations nine thou- sand dollars; and his annual disbursements, in labour, ma- nure, and other articles, are about five thousand dollars a year. His operations are all on a proportionate scale. To contract to pay a rent of twenty or thirty thousand dollars ; to expend in a single year, on lime alone, eleven thousand dollars; to pay two thousand dollars a year for rape-cake to manure tur- nips; to make a compost heap, costing four thousand dollars — such are the combinations of wealth and skill which produce good husbandry.
