a popp>% impoveriihes the foil. However, 

 " thefe crops, are lefs fevere, when the land 

 " is fallowed before and after them; and 

 *' when the farmer is not alhamed to lay 

 " plenty of rich dung upon the land, if natu- 

 " rally poor ; and nafty afhes upon the land, 

 " if worn out with cropping." 



Whenever any farmer has an inclination 

 to fave lint-feed for fowing the following 

 year, the moft proper method for raifing 

 good feed is, to fow the lint, after the fum- 

 mer-fallow, in drills, the lines nine inches or 

 a foot diftant, which will allow the lint to be 

 hand-howed. This will make it grow ftrong- 

 er, and branch out confiderably at the head ; 

 and likewife make the lintfeed bolls larger; 

 confequently the lint-feed will be very good. 



The lint is not fo apt to lodge when fowed 

 in drills, as when fown broad-caft. The ftalk 

 is confiderably firmer and groffer, which en- 

 ables it to ftand the ftrefs of the weather bet- 

 ter. Two pecks of lintfeed will be fufficient 

 to fow an acre in drills. 



I have fowed it with the drill barrow that 

 lows the beans ; all the alteration I made was , 

 a new roller put upon the axle-tree, made on
