I had it ploughed fix times, and manured with i^ 

 good waggon-loads of ftable-dung well rotted to 

 an acre; but being ftoncy land, I fowed it with 

 wheat inftead of turnips, and yet the produce was 

 not more than three quarters per acre. I think, 

 from the experience I have had, that the dung is 

 not of very eflfential fcrvice when applied for a crop 

 of CQrn, but to turnips, pulfe, grafs, or vetches, it is 

 of the utmoft importance -, and after thefe crops will 

 wonderfully aflTift the corn crops, as barley after tur* 

 nips, and wheat after peafe, vetches, or clover. 



No. XII. was a clover lay, which, not having 

 been dreffed for grafs, I manured for wheat, but 

 the produce was very fmall, not more than three 

 facks and a half to an acre; this was turniped after 

 the wheat. 



No. XIII. XIV. and XV. I fummer- fallowed, 

 well dunged, and fowed with turnips; thefe were 

 a light lively land, capable of being worked after 

 a month's rain, and yet not burning. The tur- 

 nips were remarkably good, the barley five quarters 

 per acre. As foon as the barley was off, the clover 

 was dunged; and the produce of the clover, at 

 two cuttings, three tons and a half per acre. The 

 wheat was fown at one ploughing, two bufhels per 

 G 2 acre.
