 difplaced and prevented rooting at every hoeing, by 

 the double-brcafted plough. 



A.bout an acre, in the above rotation, of my

 carrots. The produd, with fo little ploughing and 

 no manure, has been, orf an average, only about 

 400 bufliels per acre. I am however fenfible they 

 will amply repay every expence of thcfnejl culture^ 

 and fhould, from their extenfive utility, on found, 

 deep, and friable land, be every where attempted. 

 Mine, in general, is far from being their proper foil. 

 I fow in March, or April j hoe three times; harrow 

 after each hoeing ; have fometimes left them in the 

 land till after Chriftmas, and taken them up as 

 wanted; but lately have taken them up inOdlober, 

 in dry days, put them di redly into fmali upright 

 cocks of ten bufliels each, entirely covered, with 

 the tops cut off; they thus appear to dry better than 

 in any other mode; and, with very little lofs, to bear 

 the weather. If, after being thus dried, they are 

 carried into any barn, or flied, it will be better, if ia 

 large quantities, through the hazard of heating, not 

 to pack them cloje^ but rather throw them promif- 

 cuouly into beaps^ with a little ftraw over them.
