was drilled. The wheat was fo very luxuriant, that 
it was lain in the grafs, and I was obliged to feed it 
with fheep until the middle of April. One row of 
potatoes was then planted in the centre of the fallow’ 
ridge; thefe were ploughed between, and well hoed. 
The produce of the two acres of land was, wheat 
feven quarters and three bufhels per acre; potatoes, 
_ per acre, one row on each fallow ridge, fifty facks. — 
‘The following year, the potatoes were grown on 
the ridge occupied by the wheat the preceding year, 
and the wheat upon the fallow ridge where the one 
row of potatoes grew. Both crops looked equally 
{trong and good the fecond year, but I was too ill to 
attend to the experiment, and never could afcertait: 
the refult of it. But there can be no doubt, but by 
thus alternately cropping and fallowing, the land 
would improve every year. I made a fimilar expe- 
riment in an. adjoining field, trufting entirely to 
pulverization, without manure. From this field I 
had.taken two fucceflive crops of potatoes, without. 
any drefling; both crops were very good. The po- 
tatoes were planted with three-feet intervals, and 
ploughed between; the land was in very high tilth, 
drilled at the fame time, and in the fame method, as 
the other field. “In the fpring the wheat looked thin, 
but ofa good colour. It was twice horfe-hoed, &c. 
and at harveft, to my furprife, produced feven quar- 
ters one bufhel per acre, only two bufhels lefs than 
thé field which had been manured at 5]. per acre’
