 peck, and i gallon, which is i6,V after one. 



The half acre horfe-hoed was hoed with a Ro-

In the rows of this were feveral empty fpaccs 

 of above one foot, and it was much hurt by the 

 birds, having a hedge on one fide, and a hedge at 

 one end of the ridges. And as the ridges were

The ears in a yard of four double rows were 

 counted at different places of the field, two at the 

 top, and two at the bottom of the field; in all, 

 eight fingle rows.
