vinced, who examines the surface of two grass fields, 

 one fed and the other mown ; and it must be a be- 

 to loosen the soil for the roots and fibres that 

 n general so bound and matted. These, I ap- 

 prehend, are the reasons for the fad observed. But 

 extend the argument, and suppose the hay eon- 

 verted to dung in the farm-yard, and then carried 

 on to the field in proper quantities, and at a pro- 

 per season, it is elear enough (all expences carried 

 to account) which method will have the advau-f 

 tage. 



THE TEAMS. 



Continue to soil your horses and oxen in the sta- 

 bles, or under sheds, upon lucerne mown every 

 '-I- two, and take care to have great plenty of 

 Jitter, to spread under them, for treading into 

 dung. They will raise immense quantities of most 

 valuable manure with this management, and at the 

 same time be kept at a much cheaper rate than if 

 turned into any kind of pasture, 



HOUSE-HOEING. 



The drilled crops of pease and beans, must be 

 horse-hoed at least once in June. If they had re^- 

 ceived a first horse-hoeing in May, then this of 

 June must reverse it : throw the earth back again 

 to the rows, splitting the ridge in the middle of the 

 interval. In these works of horse-hoeing, the 

 plough should not be carried nearer the rows of 

 corn than four inches : even at that distance, some, 

 of the corn will be apt to be buried.
