of ^une ; which crop never fails of being a 

 capital one. 



It will in general run about 200 heaps 

 upon an acre ; and each heap contains two 

 bulhels and an half of afhes. This is 500 

 bufhels per acre, which certainly mud 

 be a noble manuring. Good farmers add 

 to the afhes about a chaldron of lime per 

 acre. The whole improvement is an ex- 

 cellent one for feven years, during which 

 period the land will continue in very great 

 heart. 



Upon this hufbandry, it might be re- 

 mar, ed, that having been long in ufe, and 

 experienced with the greateft advantage on 

 their bcft foils, is an undeniable proof of 

 the excellence of the pra<5bice ; and that 

 thofe who argue againft it fo ftrenuoufly, 

 as fome have done, on account of an ima- 

 ginary wafte of the ftaple, are utterly 

 miftaken ; the theory of this practice is 

 not the enquiry : Fadis are alone to be 

 confidered. 



Of lime they ufe much ; lay from one to 

 two chaldrons and a half ^tr acre; and find 

 it very beneficial to all forts of land. 



As to their farm^yards, their management 

 is very incomplete, for they never chop their 

 wheat ftubbles ; and their hay they flack 

 about the fields : Confequently, the quantity 

 ^f manure raifed is very trifling.
