to South Bemfket and Thunderfley, where the country 

 being much broken into hills, affords a great variety of foil, 

 the general charadler of which, is that of wet heavy land. 



The courfe of hufbandry upon the lighter lands in this 



diftrid, is to dung and prepare for fowing turnips by Old 



Midfumnier, or for colefeed fomewhat earlier j this latter 



is fed with hogs, and then left to Hand for a crop; mown 



and carried to the cattle, or fed off with Ihcep; in either of 



the latter cafes, the colefeed land is fown with oats or 



barley, together with fixteen pounds of red clover, or twelve 



pounds of trefoil and one bufliel of rye grafs to the acre. 



The turnip land is fown with fpring corn and grafs feeds in 



like manner. When the colefeed is left to fland for a crop, 



it is ufually fucceeded with white peas, winter or funimer 



tares for a crop; the etches of which, are well cleaned and 



fown with wheat the fame feafon, as are the clean clover 



leys. Where clovex and ray grafs are fown, the land 



generally lies two years under grafs, and is then fown broad- 



cafl upon the flag, with white or grey peas. The pea 



etches are fown with wheat, the ftubbles of which are 



dunged, and winter fallowed for oats or barley, and then 



lie over in courfe for turnips or colefeed; this latter pradice 



forms a double routine or ferics of crops, which require 



eight years. To render the whole more completelyjdiftindl 



and intelligible, it is Hated thus :
