Jo they give more earths for beans alone, 

 fow them generally broad caft, but fome- 

 times dibble them in, by which method 

 they fave near two bufhels of feed ; broad- 

 caft they fow fix bufhels, but never hoe 

 them ; before they bloffom, they feed off 

 the weeds with fheep; their crops are ex- 

 tremely various, fometimes none, and at 

 others 40 bufhels. For turnips they give 

 four or five tilths, hoe once, and feed them 

 all off with fheep; they generally lay all 

 their manure upon the turnip fallow : 

 They fow fome clover, but feldom mow it, 

 feed it with fheep; and mixrd with a little 

 ray-grafs, reckon that it will fat an ox in 

 the fpring of the year better than natural 

 graffes. This is a circumftance that much 

 deferves attention: Ray-grafs has of late 



been much exploded but fafhion mould 



never exclude the confideration of all fair 

 circumftances. The product of a cow they 

 reckon at 4 /. and in a kindly year like this, 

 one acre of their paftures will keep one 

 through the fummer. 



Like their neighbours, they continue in 

 the abfurd cuftom of three, four, and five 

 horfes in a plough at length, with a driver; 

 life none but foot-ploughs, and do an acre 

 a day.
