hoe-plough fliould be fet to work again, always 

 obferving to go as near the rows as may be with 

 fafety. The harrow (hould follow the hoe-plough, 

 and the plough with a double mould-board the har- 

 row ; and this is to be repeated as often as there 

 may appear to be any occafion, which cannot well be 

 more than three times in the courfe of the fummer. 



It makes no material difference whether the 

 crop be beans, potatoes, or cabbage. That mode 

 of practice which is beneficial to one, will be 

 equally fo to all. A field under this mode of cul- 

 ture, it is evident, would have all the advantages 

 of a year's fallow, together with a beneficial crop. 

 The beans being reaped and carried, the field 

 would be thought by moil to be in very good tilth 

 for a crop of wheat. Nothing more would be 

 neceflary than to plough and harrow the intervals, 

 which might be done with two bouts of the plough 

 in each interval, in which two, three, or four rows 

 of wheat might be drilled at the difcretion of the 

 owner. But I fhould prefer giving it another 

 winter's fallow, which fliouId be performed exadly 

 in the fame manner as the former. You may then 

 either have another crop of beans, or, which I 

 think much better, a crop of potatoes. The land 

 is to be prepared and to lie fallow through the 

 winter, as before diredlcd for beans. The beft
