veniently obtained. This drefling, upon frequent trial, has 

 been found to have had a very good efFe6l in preferving the 

 infant turnip plant from the depredations of the fly. The 

 turnips are generally hoed at 5s. per acre, fed off with fheep, 

 and fucceeded with oats or barley ; drilled nine inches apart, 

 with Cook's machine, requiring for feed, about four buftiels 

 of the former, and three bufliels of the latter, and each 

 yielding about forty bufhels per acre. A fecond drilling 

 takes place to put in the clover feed, which is generally 

 depofited in the intervals between the rows of corn ten 

 pounds to the acre; is ufually dunged when young, and 

 is always obferved to be a ftronger, more uniform, and 

 better plant, than where one-third more feed is fown broad- 

 caft to the acre. Each drilling operation for grain and feeds, 

 every expence included, is allowed to cod gd. per acre. 

 The clover ftands one funimer, and is then ploughed under, 

 and the land in like manner is drilled with wheat eight 

 pecks, producing upon an average, twenty-four bufhels 

 per acre. The wheat ftubbles are haulmed immediately 

 after harveft, and then fown with rye or tares 'for fpring 

 food; the fame courfe repeated, and which in the form of 

 a Dr. and Cr. account will nearly ftand thus per acre:
