Two loads of thefe allies are fufficient for an 

 acre of arable land; and by the afliftance of this 

 manure, the ground will not only yield a large 

 crop, but may be Town condantly without fal- 

 lowing for many years together. They fhould be 

 laid on in the beginning of winter, that the rain 

 may the more eaiily diflblve and warn them in. 

 Sir Hugh Plait tells us, that by manuring a 

 piece of barren land in Middlefex with thefe allies, 

 in the year 1 594, he obtained an excellent crop of 

 fummcr barley. 



I have in many experiments found great advan- 

 tage from the foaper's allies on cold four meadow 

 land, and am fully convinced, that if any farmer 

 can procure them, including carriage, at the ex- 

 pence of twelve millings a waggon load, they will 

 be the c heaped and mod profitable manure he can 

 lay onfuch foils. 



I am, &c.
