APPENDIX.

Second Year.

Man's Keep and Wages. £78 2 6
My own Ditto 78 2 6
Medicines, &c. 10 0 0
£166 5 0
125 Lambs, weighing 25lb. each, sold at 1s. 3d. per lb. 195 0 0
Clear £28 15 0

You will perceive I have not reckoned my second year's keep so high as the first as I should have raised vegetables by that time. The item of keep is certainly too high, but as I have not reckoned for casualties I let it stand.


The following is a Calculation for a Tillage Farmer:

Instead of sheep I commence with two bullocks and one cow, in place of the sheep; the other items are the same, except the addition of a plough and harrow—this will require less capital than the former by 100l.
