of the common hufbandry in his neigh" 



bourhood ; and of many very important 

 experiments he made upon lucerne, burnet, 

 fainfoine, potatoes, &c. 



Symon Scroope, Efq; of Danby, muft 

 allow me to aifert, that I was particularly 

 fortunate in meeting with a cultivator, 

 whofe experiments do honour, not to him- 

 felf alone, but to his country. Few works 

 of agriculture extant, contain more judi- 

 cious, accurate and decifive trials, than many 

 .which this gentleman favoured me with. 



The intelligence which I received from 

 the Earl of Darlington, was too valu- 

 able his experiments too numerous and 



accurate, not to be mentioned with all pof- 

 fiblc acknowledgments. I can by no means 

 do juftice to that uncommon candour, with 

 vhich his Lordfhip honoured me with the 

 particulars of the common hufbandry about 

 Raby CajUc ; and his own experience on a 

 moft extcnfive tract of land. No man can 

 be more accurate in the culture of twenty 

 acres, than his Lordfhip en fome thoufands. 

 I am particularly obliged to him for the 

 plan and elevation of a farm-yard, which 

 I believe has no equal. 



Idcnrc that — CaRr, Efq; will allow me to 

 thank him for the civilities I received at Cock 



It is with the utmofl: pleafure, that I 

 acknowledge the attention of ." :r
