The following experiments were rhadc in two 

 fields now parted by a ditch, but formerly in one 

 piece, containing in the whole eleven acres; at this 

 tirtie they are in a fix and five-acre clofe. The fix- 

 acre field) after yielding two large crops of clover, 

 was ploughed 0(5loberthe i 8th, 1782, and on that 

 and the following days planted with wheat on the 

 firfl: earth, allowing one bulhel of feed to each acre. 

 In May following, the crop was properly clemed by 

 hand-hoeing. On the 1 2th of Auguft twelve reap- 

 ers cut it. After fi:anding a proper time in che 

 field, it was brought home; and upon threfning it, 

 the fix acres produced only eighty-four buliiels. 



0(ft. 1 6th, 17th, 1702, the adjoining f/^e-acre 

 ^ field was /ei in ridges, planting two feet, and leaving 

 two feet intervals, with two pecks of feed-wheat per 

 acre; ten pecks the whole field. It was hand-hoed 

 and cleanfed in the fame method as the other crop, 

 except that the intervals were horfe-hoed. It was 

 reaped one day fooncr, ftood in the field the fame 

 time, and was threflicd by the fame labourers. The 

 crop produced 128I burtiels. This wheat fuc- 

 ccedcd a crop of potatoes, not manured for, but 

 twice horfe-hoed. The tines of the frames made 

 ufc of in planting were three inches and a half 

 .apart. There is at this time a very promifing prof- 

 pedl of a good crop on the laft year's intervals.
