NEW HUSBANDRY EXEMPLIFIED. 87 



" conclufive reafons for believing, that what 

 " can be cultivated conftantly, without ma-

Some of the other experiments recited in 

 this treatifc, of long fucceflive crops of wheat, 

 on various forts of land, fuperior to any re- 

 lated by Mr. Doffie, abundantly confirm the 

 merits of this Hufbandry in the culture of 

 wheat. To which, if the improvement of 

 many other crops be added, no doubt can re- 

 main of the fuperiority of the New Huf- 

 bandry. . 



Thefe examples of horfe-hoed crops may

 of the Farmer's Kalendar fays, " that of all 

 the volumes that have been publifhed on 

 " Hu(bandry, none gives one a clear proof of 

 " the acquiiition of manure from the atmo- 

 fphere." This may be admitted in general, 

 of the authors who have wrote upon the Old
