my land out of the fame courfe of tillage with the 

 reft-, I fow my clover or other grafs-feeds with the 

 buck-wheat, in the fame manner as with the oat 

 or barley crops, and have always found as good a 

 layer [IcyJ of it afterwards. 



Thus you fee, that in providing a mofl: incom- 

 parable vegetable food for cattle, in that feafon of 

 the year in which the farmer is generally moft dif- 

 treffed, and his cattle almofl: ftarved, a confiderable 

 profit may likewife be obtained, much beyond 

 what is ufually derived from his former pradice, by 

 the great produce and price of a crop raifed at 

 fo eafy an expcnce as that of buck-wheat, which, 

 with us, fells commonly at the fame price as barley, 

 oftentimes more, and but very rarely for lefs. 



From repeated trials, I have the confidence to 

 believe, no farmer will ever have caufe to repent 

 adopting the pradlice I have recommended. It 

 will ever be found convenient and profitable, al- 

 though perhaps in many inftances not altogether 

 \.o the degree above-mentioned. 



The land on which I have ufually fown turnip- 

 rooted cabbages is a dry mixed foil, worth fifteen 

 fliillings per acre. I am, &c.
