 advantage to all their eftates. In the in- 

 clofures, where every man does as he likes, 

 common modes of culture are to fow 

 (i) barley early in the Spring, which is 

 time enough to plough the ground for tur- 

 neps, of which we get very fine crops; thefe 

 are let out for fheep, who eat them on the 

 land ; and in February or March following 

 fow (2) wheat, and among it clover, which, 

 after the wheat harveft, yields much food, 

 and is fed with fheep all Winter. The fol- 

 lowing year (3) it is mown twice for hay, 

 and fed again with (heep the following 

 Winter. In the fucceflive Spring (4) it is 

 ploughed up, and fown with maiz early, 

 which is mown for hay time enough to get 

 another crop of turneps, which are fed with 

 fheep. After thefe turneps (5) barley is 

 Town with clover, which is fed after har- 

 Y 4 veft.
