A comparison between Champion Country and Severall—"Five Hundred Points of Good Husbandry."
The "Country Farmer" gives an instance of aparish enclosed about 40 years before he wrote. Before enclosure, it contained 82 houses, of which 20 were small farms and 42 were cottages with common rights. There were 1800 acres of common field arable, 200 of rich common cow pasture, and 200 of meadow, commonable after hay harvest. The common pasture fed 200 milch cows and 60 dry ones till hay harvest, when they were turned into the meadows, and their place taken by about 100 horses. 1200 sheep were fed on the stubble. He gives the gross produce of the parish before enclosure as:
| 1100 quarters wheat at 28s. per quarter | £1540 | 0 | 0 |
| 1200 „ barley at 16s. „ | 960 | 0 | 0 |
| 900 „ beans at 15s. „ | 675 | 0 | 0 |
| 250 todds wool at 16s. per todd | 200 | 0 | 0 |
| 600 lambs at 10s. each | 300 | 0 | 0 |
| 5000 lb. cheese at 1½d. per lb. | 31 | 5 | 0 |
| 6000 lb. butter at 5d. | 125 | 0 | 0 |
| 100 calves at 20s. each | 100 | 0 | 0 |
| 150 pigs at 12s. each | 90 | 0 | 0 |

| £4101 | 5 | 0 |
On enclosure, the twenty farms were made into four, the whole area was devoted to grazing, sixty cottages were pulled down or otherwise disappeared, and the necessary work was done by four herds (one for each farm) at £25 a year each, board included, and eight maid-servants at £18 a year each, board included. The gross produce after enclosure was:
| Fat beasts | £960 | 0 | 0 |
| Sheep and lambs | 760 | 0 | 0 |
| Calves | 165 | 0 | 0 |
| Wool | 235 | 0 | 0 |
| Butter | 190 | 0 | 0 |
| Cheese | 100 | 0 | 0 |
| Horses | 250 | 0 | 0 |
