APPENDIX, 



IN the foregoing treatife, the methods of 

 feveral eminent pra&ifers of the New Huf- 

 bandry are recited, which differing in feveral 

 circumftances may render this hufbandry ob- 

 icure to a beginner, efpecially in cultivating 

 wheat by the horfe-hoe. I have therefore 

 added this Appendix, to guard him againft mif- 

 takes in that culture, and bring into one view 

 the method that he may depend upon at his 

 entering upon the practice. 



The late Sir Digby Legard, who was an 

 eminent hufbandman, and extenfive improver, 

 near Scarborough in Yorkfhire, pra&ifed the 

 New Hufbandry for eight or nine years, cul- 

 tivating barley and wheat upon afield of feven 

 acres : he likewife cultivated in other fields 

 moft of the other common plants in this me- 

 thod ; for, befides wheat and barley, he cultivated 

 in that manner oats, beans, peafe, turnips, 

 potatoes, and lucerne j and communicated the 

 refult of his practice for a courfe of years in 

 feveral letters to the London Society of Arts, 

 and concludes his laft letter, of the 1 2th of May 

 1768, with a recommendation of the drill and 

 horie-hoeing hufbandrv, as follows, viz. " I 

 * can fay with truth, that, after ten years con- 

 '* ftant and very extenfive practice, after the 

 *f experience of a great variety of foils and 



** leafons.
