The latter end of March 1788, I vifited Mr. 

 Young at Brad field -hall, where I faw in a large 

 field before his houfe, about three acres of cab- 

 bages, very clean and well managed; and in the 

 fame field, divided by hurdles, turnips, and fhecp 

 feeding on them: one or two cloathed, to im- 

 prove their wool : on that part of the field where 

 the turnips had been eaten off, the ground was 

 turning up for barley, and three ploughings were 

 intended, as well for that part where the horfe- 

 hoed cabbages were, as for that where the hand- 

 hoed turnips grew. 



Mr. Young's courfe of crops, on fandy loam or 

 gravel, is, 



1. To manure for cabbages or turnips. 



2. Plough thrice, after either of them, for barley. 



3. Clover. 



4. Beans. 



5. Wheat. 



His quantity of manure for an acre of cabbages 

 or turnips, is forty-one horfe-put loads per acre. 

 He lays out his ground on two-rod ridges. On' 

 wet loam, upon clay, 9s. per acre, after a moderate 

 i'prinkling of dung, or other manures, he dibbles 

 on one earth on the middle of the flag, nine inches 

 afunder, two buihels an acre of the fmall, black, .
