 the weeds rife : His crop this year is a very- 

 fine one. The fort ufed both by him and 

 the Kentijh farmer, is the large Scotch cab- 

 bage. 



His yard dung he fometimes mixes with 

 hedge earth, but oftenerlaysit on without; 

 he never fows turnips without dunging, 

 and of the vaft confequence of manure for 

 that root, he this year has a ftriking proof; 

 for not having a fufficiency to cover the 

 whole field, about a rood was left unma- 

 nured ; the ploughings over the whole 

 were the fame, and fown at the fame time ; 

 the field in general is a very fine crop ; but 

 juft that rood is fcarcely worth leaving on 

 the ground : A pregnant inftance of the 

 confequence of manuring. 



His tillage he performs with horfes, four 

 to 80 acres of arable land, ufes two or 

 three in a plough, according to the foil, 

 and ftirs an acre a day. He fometimes in 

 his drilling practice has opened the fur- 

 rows with the inflrument, Plate VI. Fig. 2. 

 which is a good contrivance enough, and 

 would do very well in fome of the opera- 

 tions of horfe-hoeing.
