of September is thought the beft time. The feed 
is dragged in with heavy drags, working the land 
till the furrows are well broke, but rather wifh- 
ing to leave it rough than otherwife; if frequent 
fhowers fall during the dragging in, fo as juft to 
allow the drags to work, it is thought better by 
moft people. Experienced men fay that our land, 
being naturally too light for wheat, is by thefe 
means rendered more {fuitable to it, at the fame 
time that weeds are very much checked, which is 
a very material object where the corn is fo long 
on the ground. I have feen adjoining lands, the 
previous management of which had been exaély 
fimilar the one part fown wet; produced a very 
good crop for the country, and quite clean; the 
other, fown dry, was not half fo good, and devoured 
with filth. This method is practifed on the dry 
found Joams, of which the diftri@ chiefly confifts; 
on the heavier foils, attention is paid to the ftate in 
which they work beft: the ftiff four land is fre- 
quently fallowed and dunged for wheat, over which 
broad clover is often harrowed in; in fpring, after 
lying one or two years, it is broke up for wheat, 
followed by oats; or fometimes oats are fown on 
the lay, according to the ftate of the land. Tur- 
nips are fometimes fown on this fort of land, but 
perhaps had better be omitted; the poaching, in 
cating off, poflibly doing more injury than the teeth 
of the fheep recompenfes, rendering it unfit for any 
crop
