 of wheat in the year 17775 a confiderable left 

 quantity than any other year. But in general, I 

 wifhed to have the farm as equally divided as pof- 

 fible into the feveral crops of turnips, beans, clover,

On the bejl Method of raifing Elms for Fences \ 

 manuring Fallows for Wheats and preventing 

 the ravages of the Fly on young Turnips. 



Gentlemen, 



THE bed method of raifing elms quick is the 

 following: When you fell elm timber, in the 

 fpring, fow the chips made in trimming or hewing 

 them green, on a piece of ground newly ploughed, 

 as you would corn, and harrow them in. Every 

 chip which has an eye, or bud-knot, or fome bark 

 on it, will immediately fhoot like the cuttings of 

 potatoes; and the plants thus raifed having no tap- 

 roots, but Ihooting their fibres horizontally in the 

 richeft part of the foil, will be more vigorous, and 

 may be more fafely and eafily tranfplanted, than 

 when raifed from feed, or in any other method.
