Drilled Beans. 



In 1760, two acres of a flrong gravelly 

 foil, partly inclined to clay and ftoney, 

 were drilled with beans, with Mr. Vanduffel\ 

 drill-rake ; the rows equally diftant, two 

 feet afunder : One bufliel of feed per acre, 

 the beans being dropt five inches from 

 each other. 



In the fame field two acres were fown in 

 beds, with three rows, five inches afunder, 

 and intervals three feet two inches wide : 

 two bufhels of feed per acre. 



Alfo two acres in the fame field, drilled 

 after the common plough, every other fur- 

 row, two bulliels per acre. 



The remainder of the field, two acres 

 fown broadcaft, under furrow, three bufhels 

 and one peck, and two pecks of lentils 

 mixed among them, per acre. All were 

 harrowed, after fowing, with the teeth up- 

 wards, not to draw any of the feed out. 



Remark. Mr. VanduffeW drill-rake, im- 

 proper for land where there is Hubble, as 

 It choaks up ; and where there are ftones, 

 it jumps out of its work.
