Barley is always sown after turnips, on one ploughing, and succeeded by red 

 clover for mowing, and wheat after red clover, on one ploughing. 



The next rotation is turnips, barley on one ploughing, two years grass-seeds for 

 sheep pastures, wheat on one ploughing, and followed by oats, tares, or peas, on 

 one ploughing; which seldom fail of a crop. 



The next rotation is turnips, barley, beans, drilled on one ploughing, and hoed 

 twice over; and, previous to the last hoeing, about two quarts of rape or cole-seed 

 is sown on an acre, which never injures the beans ; but is a fine pasture for sheep 

 after the beans are cut and carried, and is an excellent preparation for a crop of 

 wheal after the beans, which is always sown on one ploughing.
