eared. Sixteen perches of the barley drilled ata 
foot, and the fame quantity of the broad-caft barley, 
were immediately bound after the fcythe, and wind 
mowed, and as foon as dry, carted into two feparate 
barnsand threfhed. The fame was intended to have 
been done with a certain proportion of the broad- 
caft oats, but the very unfavourable weather at har- 
vett prevented me from attending to it, and my 
people hurried away the broad-caft oats adjoining to 
the drilled part without my knowledge; but the 
extra produce of ftraw and oats fufficiently convinces 
me of its fuperiority, being fully double any crop of 
oats I ever had on the fame land. The following 
was the proportion of the barley: the drilled 11 
pecks, broad-caft g3 pecks ; or per acre, drilled 27 
bufhels 2 pecks, broad-caft 24 bufhels 1 peck; to 
which add the faving of 2 bufhels of feed per acre, 
makes 5 bufhels 1 peck of barley, which atthe laft 
year’s price of 4s. was juft 11. ts. per acre in favour 
of drilling: more than double the rental value of 
the land on which it grew... The 120 perches of oats 
drilled with 1 bufhel and 2 pecks of feed, yielded 
juft 40 bufhels, 9-gallon meafure, or per acre 53% 
bufhels, befides a large proportion of corn fhed, cal- 
culated by every body who faw it to be 8 buthels, 
and 85 bundles of ftraw 4olb. each, fomewhat more 
thana ton and half. Inever yet had more than 30 
buthels, nor two-thirds the weight of ftraw on any 
broad-caft acre of oats on the fame land. ‘The ba-
