OF NORFOLK. 6l 



Sometimes it will happen, that grafs feeds will 

 not take root. In fuch cafe, it would be a hard- 

 ship to confine a tenant to keep that piece of land 

 in an unproductive flate for two years : he fhould, 

 when this happens, be allowed to take a crofs crop, 

 being confined to turnip or vetch it, after fuch ex- 

 tra crops. 



The vetch is a moft excellent thing ; and great 

 advantage may be derived from it, in various 

 fhapes. If a piece of barley or wheat ftubble, 

 which comes in courfe for turnips, be found tolera- 

 bly clean and mellow after harvefl, it is a good 

 practice to fow vetches upon it, and harrow them 

 in, as foon as the corn is ofF. They will often 

 produce a great deal of valuable feed for ewes and 

 lambs in the fpring, when fuch kind of affi fiance 

 is of ineftimable worth, and yet admit of the land 

 being got into very good order for turnips. They 

 are likewife of the greatefl profit when cut green, 

 in the courfe of the fummer, and given to cows 

 and working horfes, in the liable. An acre, cut 

 and ufed in this way, will go farther, and do the 

 horfes more good, than two acres eaten off in the 

 field: working horfes want refl ; in the liable they 

 are not tealed by flies ; befides, the quantity of 

 muck which horfes make, fo foddered, is prodi- 

 gious.
