Thefe fmall unfuccefsful experiments by no means 

 prove the method bad, but the bad execution or un- 

 favourable kafon; and from thefe we fee what great 

 produce they may yield when properly executed in 

 more favourable feafons ; as in a former experiment 

 the drilled was much more fuccefsful, although this 

 is fo bad. And it is to be hoped, as many of the 

 intelligent correfpondents of the Society have prac- 

 tifed the drilled hufbandry, that their experience 

 will fhew it to be as profitable as many former 

 practifers of it have fhewn.
