and enrich the land very much upon which they 

 are fo thrown; it being underflood, in Norfolk, 

 that the land wherein they grow, is left in fuffici- 

 ent heart, by the manure bellowed upon it for the 

 turnips : fo that it is apparent, that by manuring 

 one piece of land, they manure two. Indeed, 

 where the land is poor, they draw every other 

 ridge, and feed the other off with fheep, as in other 

 counties; but this is not by any means the gene- 

 ral practice (g). 



The barley, after turnips, is generally fown upon 

 a third ploughing (A), and the grafs feeds with it; 

 and as the ground has been effectually cleaned, by 

 five ploughings, the preceding year, it is generally 

 in a fine flate when laid down in this manner. 



I fhall clofe the whole procefs with an obfer- 

 vation upon the clover: — This, upon the fix courfe 

 ihift, is generally mowed for hay the firfl year; 

 and the fecond year, it is grazed till midfummer, 

 and then broke up for wheat in fucceffion. Where 

 the four or five-courfe fhih is pradlifed, the wheat 

 is fown upon one year's lay, and it is thought 

 good hufbandry to muck or a(h the clover, in the 

 fpring, juft before it is laid up for mowing, which 

 of courfe produces a very great crop of hnv, and 

 leaves the ground in a very high condition, for 

 the fucceeding crop ot wheat.
