50 THE PRACTICE OF THE 



"other branch of the Hufbandry: but hd 

 '* who can do this without dung or fallow, 

 c may eaftly do it, with one or both of them. 

 " And there may be fuch wet clayey land, 

 " which the plough cannot well pulverize, 

 ' without help of the ferment of dung. And 

 44 in any fort of land, where it is fufpecled 

 tc that the earth of the partitions was not well 

 " ordered in the lummer, the beft remedy is 

 *' to flrow a fmall quantity of malt duft, or 

 " other fine manure, upon the rows, about 

 ' the month of February. This will ftrengthen 

 the plants, and enable them to fend their 

 " roots into the intervals the earlier in the 

 " fpring." 



Here we fee, that Mr. Tull does not fet 

 afide the ufe of manures. He agrees that dung 

 is beneficial for crops of turneps, cabbages, 

 carrots, potatoes, and fuch vegetables as are 

 cultivated for cattle; that dung is abfolutely 

 neceifary for corn and other crops in the old 

 Hufbandry ; and that dang and ether manures 

 are to be ufed, where they can be had at a lefs 

 expence than the tillage proper for hoed 

 crops. From theie paflages and others in his 

 book, it is evident, that he does not fay, as 

 the above-mentioned author afferts-, w that 

 44 nothing is to be dunged, or otherwife 

 ** drolled, but meadows or paftures. 1 * His 

 principal crop was wheat, for which he faid 

 dung was not neceflary, in the hoeing 



culture ;
