crop. They are fown from the latter end of May 
to the beginning of Auguft, and once or twice hoed, 
according to circumftances. They are eaten off 
with fheep; always beginning at the lower part of 
the ground, and working up hill; plenty of hay is 
allowed, which in this diftrict is neceflary for the 
health and well-doing of the animal. Turnips, 
thus expended, greatly enrich the land, and are 
found of ufe through the whole courfe of crops. 
Barley—is fown after turnips, on one ploughing, 
as foon as the peas and oats are got in the ground. 
Grafs feeds are either fown before the laft time of 
the harrows, or after the barley is come up, and 
before rolling it; in which cafe it is ufually covered 
in witha bufh hurdle: quantity of feed three bufh- 
els; average produce twenty-four bufhels per acre. 
Grafs feeds—chiefly fown, are from two to fix 
pecks ray-grafs, and from five to ten pounds tre- 
foil; likewife a fmall quantity of broad and white 
Dutch clover; but the light land is apt to tire of 
the broad clover, if often fown in quantity ; and the 
white Dutch is getting out of repute for fheep feed. 
In the common practice the feeds are mown for 
hay, the firft year, and grazed the following fum- 
mer, when the land is ploughed up for wheat. 
~ A very valuable fort of ray gra/s, which has been 
cultivated for twenty years pa{ft, by Mr. Peacey, of 
North-Leach, deferves particular mention. Per- 
haps there is no grafs exifting more valuable to the
