Varies from two to four hundred 

 bushels per acre. 



Horse Beans. 



Thesmall horse bean is cuUivatpd 

 on the stron* lands in the neigh- 

 bourhood of Harrow and Pinner. — 

 The distance between the rows is 

 about fourteen inches, and thebeans 

 are dibbled close in the rows. The 

 culture is very inferior to what is 

 practised In Kent. No horse-hoes 

 are used/ nor is the hand-hoeing 

 sufficient to keep down the weeds. 

 But in the succession of crops they 

 are most deficient, a fallow, instead 

 of wheat, succeeding the beans. 



Course of crops for Middlesex /l<yri- 

 culture. 



The following course of crops 

 •will be found particularly advanta- 

 geous in the vicinity of the London 

 market : and the very considerable 

 returns they ensure,denionstrate the 

 absurdity of siiflering land in Mid- 

 dlesexto lie waste and uncultivated. 

 Jn several counties flj^ manufac- 

 tures are at a stand, and the poor 

 in want of the common necessaries 

 of life. Nothing inoredearly proves 

 the importance of encouraging 

 agriculture, which, deriving itssup- 

 portfrom themorepermaiwnt wants 

 ^f man, is not subject to interruption 

 from thevissitudes of peace and war, 

 or from the uncertain changes of 

 the human fancy.

 ing rotation of crops; and this for 

 a course of six successive years. — 

 Though (he hnd is supposed to be 

 dressed iwlec in the course of six 

 years on account of the turnips, yet 

 it would require no great quantity 

 of manure to secure the above re- 

 turn. \i the value of the haiilm 

 of green pease it considered as a 

 fodder for horses, tlie total of the 

 pea and turnip crop will generally 

 exceed ttte above statement. 



Mineral Manures. — Marl. 



A stratum of marl has been dis- 

 covered in Enfield-Chase, which 

 has been the means of enriching 

 some of the poorest parts of that 

 district. It has been particularly 

 applied with success, by Mr. Bing,
