of the other ; and the fooner the Partitions are 

 plowed, the more time they will have to be pulve- 

 rized before they are replanted. Indeed this Advan- 

 tage is only when the Rows are to be planted where 

 they were the Year before-, for this is rather aDifad- 

 vantage when they are to be planted in the Intervals, 

 "Whether thefe Furrows lying long open next the 

 Rows in very hot dry Climates may be prejudicial^ 

 cannot be known, but by Trials. 



As from the external Superficies of an Acre of 

 Pafture on a rich Soil, Animals take more Pabulum 

 than of an Acre on a poor Soil ; fo Vegetables take 

 more Pabulum from the internal Superficies of a rich 

 Acre than of a poor one ; the Pulveration, or Su- 

 perficies of Parts, being equal. See p. 44, 45, 

 From whence there is no Encouragement for mak- 

 ing Trials on very poor Land. 



'Tis no great Matter whether the Rows are drilled 

 on the Partitions, or the Intervals •, for the Crops of 

 a Field, Four Years fucceflively drilled on the Par- 

 titions, were very good. After the Partitions had 

 been plowed, and lam open till the Weather made 

 them pulverizable by the Harrows, and then turned 

 together by Furrows larger than thofe which opened 

 them, much Earth of the Intervals was mixed with 

 them. This is the ftrongeft and loweft Ground I 

 have ; and if there mould be much wet Weather 

 after Plarveft, it is fo long in drying, that we take 

 the firft Opportunity the Weather allows for planting 

 the Wheat, which is generally done in the above 

 manner\ becaufe it is the fhortefi ; but, without 

 fome fuch Reafon to the contrary, I prefer planting 

 the Rows on the precedent Intervals. 



My Field, whereon is now the Thirteenth Crop of 

 Wheat, has (hewn that the Rows may fuccefsfully 

 ftand upon any Part of the Ground. The Ridges of 

 this Field were for the Twelfth Crop, changed from 

 Six Feet to Four Feet Six Inches : In order for this 



Alteration,
