 eafily obtained in any other way, as it may by 

 the New Hufbandry. 



In this huibandry there is a faving in feed 

 and in labour ; but the principal article faved 

 in cultivating wheat is in manure. We 

 have (hewn above how neceflary manure is in 

 the Common Hufbandry, a.nd how great depen- 

 dance farmers have upon manure for wheat, 

 their principal crop : as this is the cafe in the 

 Common Husbandry, a method of culture 

 wherein this expenfive article may be faved, 

 muft be of great confequence to every farmer, 

 who is at the expence of no lefs than from 

 fifty (hillings to five pounds for every acre of 

 wheat, and is wholly faved in the New Huf- 

 bandy, which in general requires no manure 

 for wheat, except a light hand-drefling in the 

 fpring ; and this only in fome particular cir- 

 cumftances, where there has been fome neglect 

 in hoeing, and is not neceflary where the cul- 

 ture is duly performed. Now if a farmer 

 raifcs annually twenty five or thirty acres of 

 wheat, and he faves only three or four pounds 

 an acre in manure, it will be an article of 

 great confequence to him; but when it is con- 

 iidered that the manure faved in his wheat 

 enables him at the fame time to drefs his 

 other lands with it, either for his crops of 

 turnips, or others for feeding his cattle, and 

 to drcfs his cultivated grafles, meadows, and 

 paftures ; every experienced farmer mud be
