NEW HUSBANDRY EXEMPLIFIED. 79

 bandry with his corn crops, nor unlefs he 

 fubftitutes the potatoe, cabbage, and carrot

 The reader may perceive how different thefe 

 examples of exteniive practice are, from the 

 trifling, inconclufive experiments upon a few 

 perches of ground, referred to by the authors 

 above-mentioned; whereinneither the nature of 

 the land is mentioned, nor the manner of per- 

 forming the culture is mewn; and yet we are 

 referred to thefe inaccurate and plainly-unfkil- 

 ful attempts to imitate this Hufbandry, as 

 conclufive, in determining the merits of two 

 different methods of Hufbandry ; than which 

 nothing can be more trifling and incbnclu- 

 five ; efpecially as it is evident, that thefe ex-' 

 periments were made by perfons who were 

 ignorant of the New Huibandry, or per- 

 formed without fkill or accuracy, and even 

 contrary to the real practice of this Huiban- 

 dry : .the reader therefore of thefe pretended 

 experiments need not be furprized to find the 

 event of them fo entirely different and contra- 

 dictory to the genuine practice of the fkilrul 

 cultivators here quoted: who have fully proved 

 upon their lands at large, and for a continued 

 courfe of many years, that the New is much 

 more profitable than the Common Hulban- 

 tlry; whereof one of the gentlemen, Mr. 

 Craik, can fully juftify what has been litre 

 laid of his iucccfs upon land not the belt
