The quantities of feed depend much on the fea- 

 fon and tinne of fowing. Wheat from feven to ten 

 pecks per acre. Barley from ten to fixteeir pecks. 

 jPeafe and beans ten pecks if 'drilled, twelve if 

 planted, fixteen ^if fowed, and earthed or harrowed 

 in. Vetches from eight to ten. Turnips from ten 

 to twenty- four ounces. Much depends on the (kill 

 ,of the fower. Cabbages and carrots have the lil^ 

 dependance. The average produce cannot be af- 

 certained with precifion, becaufe of blights, mildews, 

 earth'gEut^s, ^nd many other accidents to which all 

 forts of grain are incidents and, exclufive of thefe,^ 

 much depends on the nature of the foil and mode 

 of cultivation.
