 12th, thofe intervals were fplit with a double- 

 breafted plough, and planted with Champion po- 

 tatoes. Auguft the 29th, the oats were cut; and 

 then threfhed, yielded ten coombs or five quarters 

 of extraordinary large, heavy grain. Odober the 

 5 th, the potatoes were ploughed up, and produced 

 thirty facks of very fine potatoes, half of which 

 were fold at fix fhillings per fack, and half at feven. 

 The potatoe land was immediately planted with 

 wheat, which now looks well, and promifes to be 

 my beft crop. 



The oat flubble, after having feveral plough- 

 ings, was, on the i6th of April lafl, planted with 

 potatoes. The frame ufed for planting the oats 

 had five tines or teeth in the two feet two inches. 

 The expence of planting or hand -hoeing either 

 wheat or oats, is much diminifhed lince the prac- 

 tice was firfl introduced into this neighbourhood. 

 By an account of mine tranfmitted to you by Sir 

 Thomas Beevor, you will find los. an acre paid for 

 planting wheat, with a feven-tined frame, and the 

 fame fum for hand-hoeing; but I can now put it out 

 at 6s. each per acre: ufinga frame with five tines 

 makes only the difference of two women. 



I fhall add the produce of the acre of land thus 

 cultivated.
