quarters per acre. Both the crops were clean, and 

 anfwered very well. 



The next year I broke up fix acres nnore of the 

 fame kind of land, and treated it in the manner de- 

 fcribed above, till June, when I fowed it with tur- 

 nips. They came up very well, and efcaped the fly. 

 I gave them two good hoeings, leaving the plants 

 fifteen inches fquare. The crop proved very good 

 in quality, but the turnips were rather fmall. 



At Michaelmas I turned in beafts and Iheep, and 

 in fix weeks fed them off. The land was very 

 clean, and the manure left by the cattle had fo en- 

 riched it, that I thought there would be no great 

 rifque in fowing it with wheat. 



I gave it a good ploughing — fowed the wheat 

 under furrow, and harrowed it down. It came up 

 ■^ell, and the crop turned out near four quarters 

 per acre. 



In the autumn I laid on twelve loads of clay 

 per acre; and in January, after a froft had made 

 the clay break and mix eafily with the foil, I 

 ploughed it in with the ftubble. In March, I 

 ploughed it acrofs. In April, I ploughed it a third 



time.
