The quantity of manure fet on for wheat is 

 generally lefs than that fet on for turneps. Of 

 dung eight to ten cart-loads (as much as 

 three horfes can conveniently draw) an acre is 

 reckoned a tolerable drcffing. Of lime, three 

 to four chaldrons an acre. Of rape-cake, a ton 

 to three acres. Qi Jhot, about forty bulhels an 

 acre.
