but alfo when the whole field is feeded with that 

 grain, fovving it in fuch cafe in equidiftant rows, 

 nine or ten inches or a foot afunder. In that way, 

 it is beft too for feeding ground with barley, 

 oats, or vetches. The feed will be lefs, the crops 

 more certain and larger. It is alfo beft for put- 

 ting in turnip feed, and horfe (or tick) beans, 

 both of which he would recommend to be fown 

 in (ingle rows, three feet afunder, horfe-hocing 

 the intervals; peafe may be better fupported in 

 double rows, a foot afunder, on five-feet ridges. 



Succeflive horfe-hoed crops of wheat are pro- 

 fitable; but he is rather inclined to think the 

 horfe- hoeing hufbandry would be mod profitably 

 carried on by a change of crops ; and that tur- 

 nips on a good fallow, drilled in fingle rows, 

 three feet afunder or more, 'till the ground is 

 in perfect tilth, would be a good crop to begin 

 with; and if dung or other manures can be had, 

 they can fcarcely, for that crop, be too plenti- 

 fully applied ; but on reclaiming large extents of 

 land, muft in great meafure be difpenfed with. 

 Then mould follow fuch drilled crops as beft 

 fuit the foil and fituation, and the farmer's occa- 

 fions, whether according to the Tullian mode, 

 or in equidiftant rows; and fhould it be barley 

 or oats, in the latter way, it will be remarkably 



favourable
