26 AGRICULTURAL SURVEY 



that it will not anfwer the expencc, and that it will 

 injure the ftieep, which laft will be an affertion 

 without the leaft foundation in truth. 



I cannot quit this fubjefl without taking notice 

 of a very important hint, given by Dr. Hinton, of 

 Northwold, near Stoke, upon the fubjecl: of peat 

 and lime, which he recommends to be ufed as ma- 

 nures. His letter upon this, and fome other fub- 

 je&s, is too valuable to be fupprefled, I fhall there- 

 fore take the liberty to publifh it at length, in 

 the Appendix, and have only to add, by way of 

 flrengthening his argument, that I am of opinion 

 no manure whatever can be more fuitable on clover, 

 laid on early in the fpring, which, in general, not 

 only adds greatly to the crop of hay when mowed, 

 but infures a good crop of wheat in fucceffion — it 

 is likewife peculiarly good upon faint-foin, and, I 

 {hould apprehend, well adapted for turnips : as to 

 lime, I am of opinion, that it is always beft to 

 compound it with fome other fubflance, and with 

 maiden earth in preference to anv other.
