HARVESTING 

 WHEAT, 



infpecl the place; and true it is, that near it we 

 found three fmall plants of berbery ; one of 

 which was particularly full of berries. The 

 ftraw of the wheat is black ; and the grain, if 

 it may be fo called, a mere hufk of bran ; 

 while the reft of the piece is of a much fupe- 

 riqr quality. 



Thefe circumftancesare undoubtedly ftrong 

 evidence ; but do not by any means amount to 

 proof.

AUGUST 9. Laft night in riding from Nor- 

 wich, I faw a farmer, at Hainford, mowing 

 fome wheat, which was dead ripe, and free 

 from weeds. The gatherers immediately fol- 

 lowed the fithe, and the waggon the gatherers; 

 fo that it was harvefted at a trifling expence 

 (at a time when all the corn in the country is 

 ripe, arid hands of courfe unufually fcarce) and 

 was fecured in the barn, without any rifque from 

 the weather. This, at a pinch, may be worth 

 imitation.
