VEW HUSBANDRY EXEMPLIFIED. 241 



the reports induftrioufly fpread againft this 

 Hufbandry, and of Mr. Tull's ill fuccefs, 

 which was void of foundation, as he might 

 have known upon enquiry. Yet Mr. Miller 

 very much recommends the Hoeing Hufban- 

 dry, and gives inftances of wheat-crops there- 

 by obtained, much greater than any men- 

 tioned by Mr. Tull. 



But notwithftanding the vulgar prejudices 

 againft this hufbandry, it now gains ground, 

 even among fome farmers, who will undoubt- 

 edly adopt it more generally, as it is their 

 interefl to do, when made more fully ac- 

 quainted with it, of which it is the intention 

 of this treatife to inform them, and by what 

 follows to render the practice of it ealy and 

 familiar to them, not only in the culture of 

 wheat, but of many other plants. 



The above experiments, and fuccefsful prac- 

 tice of this huibandry, will, it is prefumed, be 

 acceptable to our readers; and they, who defire 

 to know the hi (lory and progrefs of it from 

 the beginning, are referred to Mr. Tull's work 

 above mentioned, whereof a new edition will 

 foon be offered to the public. 



A late writer, and favourer of the common 

 hu(bandry, has neverthelefs owned, " that it
