 "weeds off with fheep, which flovenly cuf- 

 tom I have minuted fo long ; their mean 

 crop two and half quarters ; fcarce any 

 turnips fown. Their clover they commonly 

 fow over wheat in the fpring, and if it 

 takes well, let it lie a year, mow it twice 

 for hay, the fecond of which they reckon 

 bed, contrary to general ideas ; but their 

 reafon is the number of weeds, they cut 

 with the firft crop, a proof of bad hus- 

 bandry; at Michaelmas they plough up 

 the fward, and harrow in wheat, which 

 is running the land to impoverishment ; 

 but this is not however univerfal. Their 

 dung they never mix with earth, but carry 

 it directly on to their wheat fallows ; they 

 fold their fheep likewife on them, and 

 reckon that 1000 will fold an acre and 

 half, never on the fame fpot twice; 160 

 fheep they calculate will in a fummer fold 

 SO acres. They plough with four hcTrfes 

 at length, and fometimes fix, and do an 

 acre a day *.
