 profitable account. When they perfect their crop, or 

 when ploughed in, they do not fail to meliorate the soil. 

 Beans are best, for heavy soils ; but they do not often 

 succeed here. Pease are in great demand, for ships pro- 

 visions, or exportation; when split, or whole. Chopped 

 or ground for cattle, they exceed oats, either for milk, 

 or fatting. Hogs are fond of them ; and they may be 

 given to fatting, or stock swine. But the former must 

 be finished off with Indian corn ; which makes the ba- 

 con of this country superior to that of Europe. Horses 

 are fed on pease in England, and other countries.
