muft confefs, it appears to me one of the befl: re- 

 commendations of the drill hufbandry that I have 

 ever known or heard of. 



Since I was at Mr. Bult's, I have had informa- 

 tion of two other crops on a firnilar plan, only 

 •with this difference, that the turnips were fown 

 among the beans at the /econd horfe-hoeing. Thefe 

 crops of turnips are alfo very good; and the beans 

 were more than douMe the value of thofe raifed in 

 the ufual mode of hufbandry. I think it is very 

 evident, that the beans preferve the turnips from 

 the fly; and as no expence or trouble attends 

 this pradlice, I apprehend it will foon become 

 more general. 



Perfuaded, however, I am, that it can never 

 anfwer but where the ground is made very clean, 

 by the crops for a few preceding years having been 

 well horfe-hoed. I alfo think the beans (which 

 here are lefs than two feet apart) fhould have more 

 room. The fun and air would be more freely ad- 

 mitted, and they would receive lefs damage from 

 the operation of the hoe.
