beft to clung the young clovers rather than the fallows for 

 fpring corn, or the clover leys for wheat. When the lands 

 of this temperament are in very good condition, the wheat 

 bubbles are dunged, and fown with beans upon three-foot 

 ridges, two furrows upon a ridge; fpringed or put in with 

 a hand drill ; ufing for feed of the fmall Eifex bean, about 

 ten pecks j and when every furrow is fown, about fourteen 

 pecks to the acre. The beans are hoed and kept clean, at 

 an expence of from eight to ten fhillings per acre, and fuc- 

 ceeded with wheat, fowing from ten to eleven pecks per 

 acre. The wheat ftubbles are haulmed, fown with tares for 

 fpring food, and then fallowed in courfe for oats or barley. 



Upon the lighter lands, (and where turnips can be cul- 

 tivated to advantage) firfl: fallow, and dung for turnips, fow 

 one quart of feed to the acre ; hoe once or twice as the crop 

 may require, cofting from five to eight Ihillings per acre. 

 The turnips are partly drawn, and partly fed off, and fuc- 

 ceeded generally after once ploughing, with oats or barley ; 

 ufing the fame quantity of feed as is required by the fallows 

 on the teinperate land. With the fpring corn is fown the 

 ufual quantity of clover, which lies one year, it is then, upon 

 once ploughing, fucceeded with wheat, fown broadcaft ten 

 pecks to the acre, and harrowed in. The wheat ftubbles 

 are ufually fown with tares or rye, for fpring food; the land 

 it then dunged and prepared for turnips, and the fame courfe 

 repeated with little variation, if we except only the occa- 

 fional culture of a fmall portion of colefeed, which generally 

 ftands for a crop. 



The refult of this management requiring the feed ftated 

 above, and aided by the application of manure, as fet forth 

 in the Journal, produces, according to the index table, the 

 following average :
