 account of one acre of carrots, yet the far- 

 mer will find, it is evident, more than five 

 times the profit upon the latter than he 

 will ever receive from the former. 



Lucerne, Mr. Henvett cultivated for fome 

 time. It was fown in drills 9 or I o years 

 ago, by Mr. Millerh direction in the Gar- 

 dener's Dictionary, upon the fame foil as 

 the carrots were raifed in ; for the firft four 

 years it was kept perfectly clean from 

 weeds, but after that the natural grafs got 

 the better of it. Mr. Heivett does not 

 mention it as a perfect experiment, becaufe 

 the feed was fown after four crops with- 

 out a fallow intervening, upon which ac- 

 count it certainly had not fair play : cows, 

 he obferved, would eat any fpontaneous 

 growth rather than lucerne when full 

 grown. 



Of burnet he fowed two acres in drills 

 two feet afunder, and kept perfectly clean 

 for two years ; but he found that nothing 

 would eat it unlefs abfolutely forced by 

 hunger, though he tried all forts of cattle : 

 This induced him to let it fland for feed, 

 of which, the product of only one acre, he 

 fold as much as brought him 4 /. 



Of bird-grafs, he fowed a rood with 3 lb. 

 of feed at 1 6 s. per lb. the land perfectly 

 clean ; it was fowed alone, and turned out 

 quite worthlefs.
