at two large furrows, will raife the middle of 

 the new ridges high enough to be above the 

 ftubble, when that is turned to the ridges, at 

 two furrows more : this mould be carefully 

 attended to, that the ftubble may not obftrudt 

 the drilling of the feed. Four furrows are 

 commonly enough to plough all tlie mould, 

 and form the new ridges ; but, if the plough- 

 man finds any difficulty in making the mid- 

 dle of the new ridges properly at two large 

 furrows, he may raife them at four; taking 

 care that they are high enough, and that the 

 ftubble does not rife fo high as the top of the 

 ridges, and obftrucl the drilling. When three 

 or more rows were drilled upon each ridge, 

 it was found neceflary to raife the ridges high, 

 in order to obtain a greater depth of mould, 

 for the benefit of the middle rows : but 

 ridges of the common height are moft pro- 

 per, when only a double row is to be drilled 

 on each ridge, 



Thefe ridges are to be drilled, and the 

 wheat cultivated, in the fame manner as in 

 the firft year ; and thus every fucceeding year 

 the land will produce good crops, ib long as 

 it is thus cultivated, without manure or ral- 

 Jow. But if any or" the hoeings (hould hap- 

 pen to be omitted, or the wheat feems not 

 vigorous enough in the fpring, let ionie fine 

 m.tnurc, as allies, foot, malt-dufr, &c. be 

 Iprmkled upon the rows in February, which 

 will itrcngthen the plants.
