 it is intended to take lucceffive crops, and to 

 improve the land: for when only a (ingle 

 crop is intended to be taken, a double row of 

 plants may, in fome cafes, produce a larger 

 crop than a iingle row : but, in general, the 

 farmer will fmd it moft for his intereft to 

 plant the larger plants in fingle rows, both, 

 on account of improving the land, which is a 

 confideration of great importance, and like- 

 \vife to keep the land clean, which is ealier 

 done with fingle rows, and at a lefs expence, 

 than when the rows are double : and in all 

 cafes it is proper to leave an interval between 

 the rows, whether fingle or double, of about 

 four feet, that breadth being necetfary to hoe 

 them properly with a hoe-plongh. 



There is one advantage peculiar to the 

 horfe-hocing Hufbandry, whicli the common 

 Farmer cannot obtain, and delerves to be well 

 confidered. When a crop of broad-call 

 wheat is harvefted and carried home, the 

 land is become flale, and not in order to be 

 lowed with wheat for a fecond crop ; but the 

 land muft be ploughed and winter- fallowed, 

 to prepare it for a crop of fummer corn : 

 but, if the hoeing farmer is defirous to change 

 his crops, he is not under the neceflity of 

 winter fallowing, but may lave that expence, 

 and allb obtain another crop before the fp'ring 

 ieed-time. Molt forts of common cabbies,
