For wheat they plough five times, fow 

 two bufiiels of feed, and reap at a medium 

 about three quarters. For barley they 

 plough three times, fow four bufhels of 

 feed, and reckon the mean produce four 

 quarters. They give one or two ftirrings 

 for oats, fow four bufhels, five quarters the 

 average crop. For beans they plough but 

 once, fow three bufhels and a half broad- 

 caft, never hoe them, and gain at a me- 

 dium s> l. quarters. They fow fcarce any 

 turnips. For rye they plough once, fow 

 3 bufhels, and 24 the mean crop. Clover 

 they fow on fpring corn, generally mow it, 

 and gain two tons of hay at a mowing. 

 They cultivate much flax in this neigh- 

 bourhood, calling it line; they fow it either 

 on a ftubble in great heart, or on old grafs; 

 then weed it at the expence of from 5 s to 

 10 s. per acre, and they reckon that an acre, 

 if not a bad one, will pay 5 /. clear of all 

 charges.. 



The manure they principally depend on 

 is lime, of which they lay two chaldrons 

 on an acre, and it lafts a courfe. 



They reckon 500 /. neceffary to flock a 



farm of 100/. a year. The product of 



a cow they value at 5 /. 



They ufe two, and fomctimes three 



horfes in a plough abreaft, and do an acre 



a day. If ploughing is hired, it is 2 s. 6 cL 



an acre.
