limed to the fallow, and the fecond after be- 

 ing dunged : So that it may with propriety 

 be faid, this field is in the higheft culture for 

 railing a very large crop of hay for one year, 

 and good pafture for four years after ; which 

 in whole is ten years. And we fhould then 

 proceed to repeat the fame courfe as before, 

 the firft year oats, and fo on. 



If what is propofed was reduced to pra&ice, 

 the corn crops would not only be very con- 

 fiderably increafed to what they are at pre- 

 fent, but the crop of hay aud pafture would 

 be increafed in proportion ; and by thefe 

 means confiderable quantities of muir and 

 wafte ground could be brought in at a fmall 

 expence. 



What is here faid, with refpe6l to improve- 

 ments in Ayrfhire, will anfwer in part for 

 moft of the counties or mires in Britain. 



I have not had an opportunity to fee a 

 county or fhire in Scotland fo much adapted 

 for making fuch a rapid improvement of in- 

 creafe in produce as Ayrfhire, as faid before, 

 having fo much inclofed and in grafs, great 

 plenty of lime and coals to be purchafed at a 

 cheap rate, good roads, and the foil benefited 

 by lime.
