For wheat they plough four times, fow 

 three bufhels, and gain at an average

 barley, fow four bufhels, and reap at a 

 medium four quarters and a half. For 

 oats they ftir but once, fow four bufhels, 

 and gain fix quarters at a medium. They 

 give but one earth for beans, fow three 

 bufhels and a half broad-cart, never hoe 

 them, and get at a medium twenty-three 

 bufhels. For turnips they plough four or 

 five times, never hoe them, which is a fine 

 practice when five crops fuccecd them, and 

 the land never fallowed ; the mean value
