I; Whenever a farmer is in fuch' a fituation, 

 as that, his farm mailers him, being obliged 

 to plough at all feafons wet and dry, in or- 

 der to fow what he intends, he muft be fure 

 to lofe. When the ground is wet, it would 

 be for his interefl that his men and horfes 

 were idle. For wet ploughing and fowing, 

 even where the ground is rich and in good 

 order, hurts it very much ; and fome places 

 will not yield half the crop of the ground 

 ploughed dry. This is not adverted to by 

 the generality of farmers as it ought to be. 

 Wherever wet ploughing and late fowing is 

 pra&ifed, it may juftly be {aid to be one 

 caufe why they do not make rich, which is 

 too much the cafe with moft farmers. Eve- 

 ry year's experience fhews this.
