wherever they can have plenty of provifions 

 at a cheap rate. 



Lint would anfwer very well, even better 

 than corn in this country, having fo much 

 rain ; but it would need to be pulled in ten 

 days after the bloom is off, not waiting for 

 the feed ripening; which would make the flax 

 crop much finer, and run lefs rifk from the 

 great rains which fall here. 



I do aver, that the fame farm which is 

 wholly in pafture, in many fituations will 

 maintain more than double the number of 

 flieep or cattle, by having the half or third 

 of what is prefently in pafture in corn crops, 

 having a regular rotation of corn and fown 

 grafs ; never having of what is in tillage a- 

 bove the third or one half at moft in corns ; 

 other parts in fown grafs, for hay and paf- 

 ture. 



By having fo little in corn, it would be 

 manured extraordinarily, more fo wherever 

 there is lime, marl, fea fhells, fea wreck, 

 mofs, or peat afhes. This would produce 

 very great crops, both of corn and grafs. 



When the farm is rich with manure, it 

 makes an early harveft, as admitting of be- 

 ing fown early ; and early corns being fown,
