SUCCESSION. 



NO REGULAR SUCCESSION of arar- 

 blc crops ri::d fallow can be traced in this 

 Diilrid. Every man follows the dilates of 

 his own judgment, and fubje(fts his arable 

 land to fuch ufes as are beft fuited to the ge- 

 neral economy of his farm in the given year. 



This mode of management is not pecu- 

 liar to the Vale under obfervation, but is 

 common to other Diftridts in which grass- 

 land predominates ; under which circum- 

 ilancc aration is conlidered as a fccondary,and 

 in moil cafes "^ fub ordinate branch of manage- 

 ment. 



When the fward becom.es unprodudlive it 

 is delivered over to the plow, and the foil 

 kept in an arable i1:ate until another piece of 

 fward begins to fall ; when the former is laid 

 down again to grafs^ and the latter broke up 

 for arable.
