and in some cases indispensable: an effective har- 

 rowing should precede the drill. The quantity of 

 Seed the same as in dibbling. 



A very singular experiment of Mr. Ducket's on 

 preparing, a clover lay for wheat, should here be 

 mentioned: he had a field in which wheat rarely 

 escaped being greatly root-fallen : not to lose 

 sowing it with that grain, and at the same time to 

 guard against the experienced malady, he scarified 

 it repeatedly, till he had torn up the clover, and 

 also gained tilth enough for drilling in ; then he 

 collected the clover fragments, and carted them 

 into the farm-yard to make dung, and drilled the 

 field : the wheat having a firm bottom in an un- 

 stirred soil, escaped the disease, and yielded an 

 ample produce: very singular husbandry, and ad- 

 mirably adapted to the peculiarity of the soil. 

 The clover-bulb, which would have secured the 

 dreaded looseness had it been turned down, made 

 a large quantity of dung, and therefore, was not 

 lost to the farm, though the particular field was 

 deprived of it. No saving of expence was here 

 made, but an extraordinary one incurred; but it 

 secured a crop where otherwise there would have 

 been none. 



WHEAT AFTER TARES. 



A good crop of winter tares leaves the ground 

 in such loose, putrid/ friable order, that it is much 

 tetter husbandry to sow turnips or plant cabbages 

 on it, tljan leave it to receive tillage for wheat. 



However,
