The haulm, ftraw, and chaff, are prefumed to 

 pay for threfhing the corn; and the land, being in 

 the grafs-years fed, to require little, if any dung. 

 If the land be light, turnips or cabbages will be 

 more profitable than tares and rye, but will require 

 a large portion of dung. For mere conveniency a 

 mixture of thefe crops is mod eligible. Barley 

 will certainly pay better than oats j and if a com- 

 pleat fallow be taken, without any feeding crop, as 

 requiring fo much lefs trouble, fhould probably be 

 preferred ; though the ftraw is much lefs valuable 

 for the feed of cattle in winter, than that of oats. 

 The hand-hoeing of wheat in the fpring is un- 

 doubtedly expenfive; but if the plant be thick 

 and forward, it may fafely be Jheep-fed^ and then 

 harrowed and hoed ; and this, befides Jome fecurity 

 againft mildew, affords a little advantage to thick- 

 fown wheat. C. O.
