Some of the pra&ifers of the New Huf- 

 bandry having, as we have feen, deviated from 

 the moft fuccefsful method, and fome of thofe 

 who oppofe or do not underftand it having 

 obfcured it ; a farmer, who is defirous of prac- 

 tifing this hufbandry. may be at a lols to 

 know the beft method, and upon which he 

 can rely : the following defcription may there- 

 fore be of ufe to fuch, and is offered to thofe 

 who defire to pra&ife it with fuccefs, particu- 

 1 larly in the culture of the wheat, which is 

 the farmer's principal crop ; and thofe who can 

 cultivate wheat well in the hoeing hufbandry, 

 may foon attain to the beft culture of other 

 crops in the fame manner. 



The farmer is advifed to begin at firft with 

 a fmall extent of ground ; an acre or two laid 

 up in ridges to be horfe-hoed, about the fame 

 quantity to be drilled in equidiftant rows upon 

 level ground, and another piece to be fown 

 broad-caft; all thefe pieces of land to be con- 

 tiguous to each other, to be as near as pofTible 

 of the fame quality, and fown at the fame 

 time, and with the fame feed : thefe different 

 methods will not only be amufing, but of real 

 life to the cultivator. 



It may be proper to winter and fummer 

 fallow the whole, and is the beft method of 

 extirpating the weeds, and making the land 

 very clean; this is abfolutely neceflary for the 

 piece to be horfe-hoed, for that muft be made 

 very clean, and brought into good tilth, before 



it
