 which their brethren in other parts do not 

 in common practiie, and to great profit. 

 — With this management they will tind it 

 laft well for horfes, cows, beads, or hay, 

 fifteen years. They fhould then pare and 

 burn it, and fow turnips, keep it in a 

 courfe of other crops for five or fix years, 

 and then lay down with fainfoine again. 



Another circumflance of bad hufbandry, 

 (which is indeed too common in other 

 countries) is the never hoeing of beans : 

 Great numbers are fown upon the rich 

 lands after wheat, and all I viewed were 

 extremely full of weeds ; this is a moft per- 

 nicious practice, and cannot be too much 

 condemned. 



Next let me obferve, that the waggons 

 ufed in this country are fuch paltry infig- 

 nificant things, that the farmers, I am con- 

 fident, who ufe them for any purpofe upon 

 the road, mull fubmit to a conftant lofs. 

 In fome parts of England, they are chang- 

 ing narrow-wheeled waggons that contain 

 oo and ioo bulhels, for broad-wheeled 

 ones ; what therefore muft we think of 

 thefe hufbandmen who content themfelves 

 with fuch as hold no more than /o; and 

 50 with difficulty: this is remaining in 

 the darkneis and ignorance of five centu- 

 ries ago.
