 I made particular enquiries, and found fe- 

 veral variations. 



The foil is all fandy ; lets from 15 s. to 

 20 s. an acre. Farms moftly imall, but from 

 twenty to two hundred. 



The courfes, 



1 . Turneps 4. Clover two years, 



2. Barley fome few add 



3. Oats 5. Wheats

For wheat they plow four times, low 

 two bufhels and a half, and reap from twen- 

 ty-three to twenty-five. They give three 

 ftirrings for barley, fow from three to four 

 bufhels, and reckon twenty-five the average 

 product. For oats they give but one earth, 

 fow five bufhels, and gain upon a medium 

 four quarters. They plow but once for 

 peafe, fow three bufhels, and fometimes 

 hand-hoe them ; the crop twenty bufhels. 

 Turneps they prepare for by three ftirrings ; 

 hoeing is now common ; generally once, 

 and fometimes twice : The average value 40J. 

 per acre. They reckon the hoed crops better 

 than the unhoed by 20s. an acre; they are 

 ufed for fheep and beafts. Clover they fow 

 with fpring corn, mow it once, and gain 

 about a ton and a half of hay per acre. A 

 little buck wheat is cultivated for fwine.
