AUGUST 29. Laft autumn, made an accurate MANURES 

 experiment on a large fcale, with different WHEAT. 

 manures for wheat, on a fandy loam, fummer 

 fallowed. 



Part of an eighteen acre piece was manured 

 with fifteen or fixteen loads of tolerably good 

 farm-yard dung an acre ; part with three chal- 

 drons of lime an acre ; the reft folded upon 

 with (heep, twice ; the firft time at the rate of 

 fix hundred fheep to a quarter of an acre (fee 

 MIN. i.) 5 the fecondtime thinner. 



In winter and fpring the dung kept the lead ; 

 and now, at harveft, it has produced the great- 

 eft burden of ftraw. 



The iheepfold kept a fteady pace from feed- 

 time to harveft, and is now evidently the belt 

 corned, and the cleaneft crop. 



The lime, in winter and fpring, made a poor 

 appearance, but after fome Ihowers in fummer 

 it flourifhed much, and is now a tolerable crop ; 

 not lefs, I apprehend, than three quarters an 

 acre : and in this country, where dung is fo 

 fingularly valuable for the turnep crop, it is a 

 fatisfaction to know that fummer fallowing and 

 lime alone will infure a tolerable crop of wheat.
