are very good feeding for cattle, and fo hardy 

 as very rarely to be injured by froft : If the 

 farmer is fituated near a great town, the green, 

 curled favoys, or cabbage plants, &c. for (ale, 

 may be ftill more profitable to him. The 

 beans, well hoed, will yield a larger and 

 more profitable crop than in the common 

 way of planting them ; and as foon as they 

 are cut, the land may be ploughed down level 

 and drilled with wheat, to be cultivated as be- 

 fore. In this method of cultivating wheat, 

 very good crops will be obtained, but the 

 land is not fo much improved as it is by the 

 horfe-hoeing of wheat upon ridges ; and for 

 that reafon it will not be advifeable to attempt 

 railing fuccefiive crops of wheat every year 

 in this method of drilling it upon the level, 

 as may be done upon ridges. Yet in this 

 way the farmer will find it much more profi- 

 table than the Old Hulbandry, and the mod 

 approved courfe of crops in that Hufbandry, 

 viz. turnips, barley, clover, and wheat ; for in 

 this courle the farmer can have but one crop 

 of wheat in four years, whereas in the hoeing 

 method juft mentioned he has two crops of 

 wheat in four years, better crops than he com- 

 monly obtains in the Old Hufbandry, and at a 

 lefs expcnce, befidesthe advantage of the win- 

 ter crop of cole-feed for his cattle. And 

 when he is lo expert in the hoeing, as to un- 

 dertake the culture of wheat in the bcft horfe- 

 hoeing method as dcfcribcd above, he m.ty
