heavy expencc he was at of thirteen Ihilllngs per 

 acre for fowing and covering the feed in drills, 

 which pra6tice, from two trials only which I have 

 made of it, appears to me not fo eligible as fowing 

 the feed broadcaft. The two drilled crops were 

 with me the worft I ever grew. The feed of car- 

 rots, although ever fo well rubbed with fand or 

 any other fubftance, will flill adhere together to 

 that degree, as to render the delivery of it in drills 

 not only tedious, but very uncertain -, and where- 

 ever it falls in patches, the lofs of ground is con- 

 fiderable ; befid^s, the difference of nine-pence or 

 a fliilling per acre at moft for random fowing, and 

 thirteen ihillings per acre for drilling, is an objedl 

 worth attending to. 



The great expcnce attending the culture of car- 

 rots, being the chief, perhaps the fole obftacle to 

 the general growth of them, every abridgment of 

 that expence fhould be fludied, as it bids fair to 

 promote their general ufe. 



Perhaps the method in which I have for fomc 

 few years pad proceeded, where it can be adopted 

 with convenience, will be found as profitable, and 

 attended with lefs trouble than any other. The 

 proportions of it may be varied to fuit the wifhes 

 or wants of every cultivator.
