In this rotation of crops no fallowing is necclTary, but in a 

 fhort preparation for turnips or colefced. 



Upon the temperate lands, firil, thorough fummer and 

 winter fallow for oats or barley, with which fow fxteen 

 pounds of red clover, or in lieu thereof, fix pounds of white 

 Dutch clover, and ten pounds of trefoil per acre. Clover ley 

 fown with wheat, the etches of which are dunged, and fown 

 with beans that are kept well howed through the fummer, 

 and again fown with wheat; after which, a crop of oats or 

 barley is fometimes taken, but mofl generally the wheat 

 flubbles are haulmed, and fown with winter tares for fpring 

 food J then dunged and prepared for colefeed, fed with hogs, 

 left for a crop, and fucceeded with wheat ; the ftubbles of 

 which, are dunged, fown with beans, which are kept well 

 hood and fallowed by a fecond crop of wheat; then fallow 

 in courfe, for oats or barley. In this routine of crops, a 

 thorough fummer and winter fallow, and a Ihort preparation 

 for colefeed only occurs once in twelve years. The whole is 

 efleemed clean good farming, and when the bean land is 

 not too loofe and mellow, it is always fure to produce excel- 

 lent wheat; this< pradlice, aided by the application of chalk, 

 noticed in the journal, produces according to the index 

 table, the following average : 



a6 bufhels 2 pecks of Wheat 



34 bufhels 3 pecks of Barley 



40 bufhels 2 pecks of Oats 



23 bufliels of Peas 



27 bufhels of Beans per acre
