land binding upon the gravelly foil, lying north-weflcrly of 

 the brook, correfponds with that defcribed in the fouth-eaft, 

 or oppofite quarter. 



The copfe wood or undergrowth here, is more valuable 

 than is the like produce in the preceding parifh, arifing from 

 the care and attention which is paid to the undergrowth when 

 young, and to the cultivation of alli for hop poles. 



Turnips are fown, and anfwer extremely well upon the 

 light gravelly foils. Cabbages are here a new culture. For 

 this crop the land is ploughed into four furrow ridges, in the 

 furrows between which, are laid about 400 bulhels of long 

 dung per acre. The dung is then ploughed under, making the 

 furrows the ridges, on the tops of which, and at a yard apart 

 from each other, about a quart of water is poured down ; 

 thus marking out where the plants are to be fet ; this opera- 

 tion is followed by a boy placing the plants ready for the 

 dibber, who makes the holes, and prefTes the mould very 

 clofe to the roots of the plants ; a fecond watering imme- 

 diately takes place, pouring the like quantity of water OH 



each plant. The planting is generally performed by a 

 gardener, as much depends on the plants being properly put 

 into the ground; ploughing the intervals, hoeing, and 

 moulding up the plants, follow in courfe. The drum-head 

 cabbage is preferred ; and the plants are always taken out 

 of the feed bed, for immediate tranfplantation into the 

 field. 



The harveftmen are not boarded by the farmers here, as in 

 moft other places, but in lieu thereof, they each receive four 

 bufhels of malt and two lbs t)f hops, from which about 

 forty gallons of ftrong nourifhing drink is ufually drawn : 

 They alfo receive one Ihilling each on hiring, and five fliil- 

 lings per acre, for cutting and inning the whole crop ; ap- 

 portioning about thirleen acres to each man. The carts,
