80 -N THE PRACTICE OF THE 



adapted to this Hufbandry, and in a climate 

 very unfavourable to conftant and fucceffive 

 crops of wheat upon the fame land. This 

 excellent cultivator fucceeds alfo in horfe- 

 hoeing beans ; turnips alfo in tingle rows, 

 upon his ridges near five feet broad, in order 

 to clean his land perfectly from weeds. Po- 

 tatoes likewife in fingle rows upon the ridges, 

 which, by horfe-hoeing, produces him greater 

 crops, than is obtained there in the Common 

 Hufbandry. He cultivates alfo fome other 

 crops in the horfe-hoeing method with fuc- 

 cefs ; and even Lucerne for years pair, which 

 produces four cuttings in every fummer, upon 

 his cold moift land. All his crops thrive with 

 him, and have done fo for many years; 

 though both foil and climate are againft him ; 

 an evident /demonftration of the excellency of 

 the New Hufbandry ; as its failing in the above 

 trifling experiments is of their unfkilful ma- 

 nagement. 



Since writing the above, I have perufed a 

 late Treatiie of Hufbandry, entitled The Com- 

 plete Englijh Farmer, faid in the title-page to 

 be written by a Friend of the late Mr. Jethro 

 Tull, Author of the Horfe-hoeing Hufbandry. 

 The author of this is faid to. be a gentleman- 

 farmer, who refided formerly near Hunger- 

 ford in Berkfhire, and fince that in Kent. He 

 appears to be well acquainted with the Com- 

 mon Hufbandry ; and it might beexpected, 

 from the title of his book, that he was alfo well 



informed
