the crop is off, fow fix pecks of rye per acre on one 

 ploughing: this will make excellent Iheep-feed, 

 and expofe the clay to the winter frofts : then 

 fummer-tilth for turnips j feed them off in March 

 with fheep or other beads. Such manuring is 

 befl for fuch lands. 



If it be a kind of loamy foil, fbw barley; if a 

 black gravel, oats. Experience teaches know- 

 ledge. Try a lay of clover with the following 

 mixture, viz. clover-feed, and black and white 

 nonfuch. If the lay takes, /e( red wheat upon it 

 —fuch lands fometimes produce three quarters 

 per acre. When they begin to wear out, improve 

 them by the following method : — lay them down 

 with fuch grafs- feeds as fhall be thought proper, 

 and let them reft for three or four years till they 

 become a flag. 



Another method of improving fuch lands is, to 

 lay them up againft winter in round ridges, four 

 furrows on a ridge. Early in the Ipring, or fooner 

 if the feafon will admit, turn it back, and make an 

 early fummer tijth i then fow it with buck-wheat, 

 fix pecks per acre, and let clover follow, as above- 

 diredbed. Forbear feeding it in the fpring, as fuch 

 land will not bear treading.
