courle has of late years become very general, and 

 keeps the foil clean. We manurie for turnips if 

 poillble, and alfo for wheat. Sometimes our clover 

 is extended to three years, but nor frequently. Of 

 iate, efpecially, our clover often fails the third year, 

 and fometimes the fecond, if the land be wet; for 

 wherever the water (lands in the winter or fpring, 

 clover turns black and decays. Our farmers agree 

 in the opinion, that if turnips are fown on a well- 

 conditioned fallow, and twice hoed, and the land 

 ploughed three tinnes for barley, the clover may re- 

 main at leaft two years without giving a foul crop 

 of wheat, efpecially as our wheats, on clover lays, 

 are of late almoft wholly /ety and more eafily kept 

 clean than when fown broad-caft. We fet from 

 two to three pecks per acre, and find great advan- 

 tage from the pra6lice — the expence of fetting by 

 hand is, from fix to eight fhillings per acre. On 

 our fallows, we plant with Mr. Blancher*s drill- 

 plough, at lefs than half the expence, and with 

 equal regularity and fuccefs. 



The Norfolk hufbandry is, as Mr. Young has 

 juftly obferved, quite a fyftem, every fucceflive 

 part of which is dependant on the foregoing, and 

 tiierefpre it will not admit of much variatipn.
