376 JUNE. 



even for a single crop, equal in all respects to this 

 for 5s. which is, in general, the price of two 

 bushels, and is sufficient for one acre. 



But a material advantage there certainly is frorr 

 two vegetable crops, the oiu immediately succeed- 

 ing the .oth.er, in cleaning the land, for although the 

 rye was sown as soon as I could conveniently 

 plough after the haulm was carried off, yet, upon 

 breaking up the land after the rye was fed off, 

 it was much cleaner than it wasi after the last 

 fallow. 



I wish I could have drawn a more accurate con- 

 clusion from this experiment, as I find that it is the 

 first that has been made in this manner; and would 

 not have troubled you with this, had it not been 

 by your particular desire, it being impossible to as- 

 certain precisely the loss I sustained, consequently 

 mere presumption to offer any thing as certain 

 from it. 



I hope hereafter to be more accurate, as I have 

 six acres which have produced this season 1 2 wag- 

 gon loads of tares, and are now sown with buck- 

 wheat, to be ploughed in the end of this month 

 (June) as a preparation for wheat. 



Note. The year after, the fkld contained near 



^ix acres, including borders, and the produce was 



2Q coombs 2 bushels of clean wheat; so that it may 



reasonably be set at five coombs per acre, which is 



a much larger crop than I expected. 



SHEEP.
