262 APPENDIX. 



When the ridges are leveled the laft time, 

 harrow the land fine, the contrary way to 

 the intended bearing of the ridges to be horie- 

 hoed ; then with a pair of light narrow wheels, 

 fet to the diftance of the ridges (as of four 

 feet ten inches), mark the breadth of the 

 ridges; which the wheels will plainly do, if 

 drawn acrofs the harrowing : the marks will 

 guide the ploughman to make the ridges of 

 that breadth, and" very ftraight, which they 

 fhould be made. Ridges of the common 

 height are proper to be drilled ; but in very 

 ftrong land they mould be laid up high, to 

 throw off the rain water, and keep the wheat 

 dry, which is neceffary. Ridges of four feet 

 ten inches broad give room to drill a double 

 row of wheat at ten inches diftance upon the 

 middle of each ridge (called the partitions), 

 and intervals of four feet between the double 

 rows, to be horfe-hoed, four feet being a 

 proper diftance, and room for the hoe-plough 

 to work and turn the earth to. or from the 

 rows. 



The tops of the ridges mould be fmoothed 

 with light harrows before the wheat is 

 drilled ; and the horfe or horfes that draw 

 the harrows mould walk in the furrows be 

 tween the ridges. 



The farmer, who intends to praclife the 

 hoeing hufbandry, fhould have a drill-plough 

 to fow the feed, for that is the moft exaft 

 way of doin.g it. Sir Digby Legard had Mr.
