 this hufbandry confidered and anfwered ; 

 particularly thofe made by Mr. Harrifon, 

 and the author of the Farmer's Kalendar. 

 -The ufe of manure in the Old Hufban- 

 dry admitted, and to many hoed crops ; 

 but not neceflary for wheat and other

 and from the fuccefs of feveral eminent 

 cultivators in Britain, who have pra&ifed 

 this hufbandry extenfively, and upon 

 various forts of land, from eight or nine
