On Malt-diijl as a Manure. 



[By Mr. J. Bedford, of Birch-Manor, Effex.] 



IN April 1784, I manured a piece of land with 

 malt-combs, or the duft which falls through 

 the wires, at the rate of four quarters per acre, and 

 fowed it with clover and barley. The barley was 

 very luxuriant, and produced very near feven quar- 

 ters per acre. The crop of clover was one of the 

 fineft I ever faw; and I have no doubt, but the 

 effedts of this manure will be evident in the wheat 

 next year. From the fuccefs attending the ufe of 

 this malt-duft manure, the expence of which was 

 only eight fhillings per acre, it appears to be much 

 cheaper than any other; and therefore I beg leave to 

 recommend it to the notice of the Bath Society. 



On the Same,

ON my return from Cornwall, I met with a 

 fhrewd, fenfiblc poor man, a hulbandman, who 

 obferved that turnip feed two or three years old
