For wheat they plow three or four times, 

 low three bufhels, and reap about twenty. 

 For barley they plow twice, fow three 

 bufhels, and reckon the average produce the 

 fame as of wheat. They ftir but once for 

 oats, fow feven bufhels and an half, and gain 

 fifty in return. For peafe they likewife plow 

 but once, fow three bufhels, and gain, at a 

 medium, fifteen. They ftir twice or thrice 

 for rye, fow three bufhels generally in Fe- 

 bruary or March, (a very remarkable time,) 

 and reap twenty. They cultivate fome few 

 turneps; plow three or four times for them; 

 a few farmers hoe them : The medium va- 

 lue they reckon at 50 s. an acre; and ufe 

 them for cattle and fheep. Clover they fow 

 with barley or oats, generally mow it for 

 hay, and get about a ton at a mowing. 



For potatoes they plow thrice, give the 

 land a good coat of dung ; chufe the dryeft 

 foils for them ; and lay the flices in every 

 other furrow, one foot from plant to plant. 

 On coming up they plow between the rows,

 get three hundred bufhels per acre, and fow 

 rye after them. 



Good grafs letts at 20 s. an acre, they
