But the molT: general praftice is to fpread 

 the manure upon the broken ground, in the 

 manner defcribed in the laft fedlion ; or, if 

 the feed be fown upon the flag, to fpread it on 

 the turf and plow it under ; or to fpread it on 

 the plowed furface, and harrow it in with the 

 feed, as a top-drefling. 



The lafl: I have feen done in the following 

 judicious manner. Three or four bouts are 

 firft plowed in the middle of each warp, 

 forming a narrow bed of plowed ground, wide 

 enough to fet the manure upon, but not too 

 wide to be received between the wheels of the 

 cart ; which, in fetting on the muck, run in 

 the plow-furrows on each fide the bed. The 

 manure is then fet in hillocks upon thefe 

 plowed flips ; the warps are iiniihed-plowing ; 

 the manure fpread over them j — the feed fown ; 

 . — and the whole harrowed in together. 



By this management the manure goes on 

 with eafe to the team, and without the newly- 

 plowed ground being cut to pieces by the 

 wheels of the cart, or torn about by the feet of the 

 horfcs ; for the cart being always, as it were, on 

 the nail, the horfes have no obftacles to ftruggle 

 againfl:. In a wet feafon this pradice is Angu- 

 lar ly eligible,
