4<D THE PRACTICE OF THE 



caufe the repeated ploughings and harrowings 

 for the turnips improves the land and follow- 

 ing crops. We are not indeed informed of 

 par iculars, and from what circumftance it 

 happened that this turnip-crop was a Jofing 

 one ; which fhould not have been omitted. 



There is the fame objection to the other ar- 

 ticles, which, had they been related particu- 

 larly, the reafons of the ill fuccefs of the 

 New Hufbandry would have been feen ; for I 

 (hall produce feveral unexceptionable examples 

 of the fuccefs of the New Hufbandry, and 

 the great profit of fucceffive hoed crops of 

 wheat, for many years, on large traces of dif- 

 ferent forts of land. 



But even in the general manner, in which 

 thefe horfe-hoed crops of wheat are ftated, it 

 will be very apparent to thofe who underftand 

 the New Hufbandry, that they were not cultU 

 vated in the proper manner, according to that 

 Hufbandry. For here the expences of the 

 fecond and third crops of wheat (wherein no 

 fallow is concerned J one of them is charged 

 at 3 1. 14 s. 7 d. and the other at 3 1. 1 7 s. 10 d. 

 which are much beyond the real expence of 

 horfe-hoed wheat crops, whereof the tillage 

 and feed is not above fourteen or fifteen mil- 

 lings per acre, and of all expences, harveft- 

 home, they do not commonly exceed feventeen 

 fhilliogs per acre. Now, if the rent of this 

 jand was fo high as eighteen (hillings per 

 acre, and that was included in this charge, the 



expence
