els per load. In 'June plow it In. The 

 land then lies till September, when it is 

 plowed again, and arched up, and fo lays 

 for the winter. In March it is plowed 

 down, one half, or two bufhels per acre of 

 feed being then turned in, and the other 

 half, or two bufhels more, harrowed in at 

 top : This management yields feven quar- 

 ters per acre on an average. It certainly is 

 moil: excellent huSbandry; and the circum- 

 stance of Spreading the dung on the fallow, 

 and mixing it well with the foil by the fuc- 

 ceeding plowings, preferable, I apprehend, 

 to laying it on in the winter before fowing, 

 which alfo depends on the coming of Sharp 

 frofts. 



Lucerne, Mr. Penny has cultivated, and 

 With good fuccefs. He lowed two acres in 

 drills in 1761, twelve inches afunder; the 

 foil a fandy loam. It was hand hoed well 

 for three or four years, and afterwards breaft 

 plowed twice a year. The hand hoeing coil 

 40 s. an acre ; but the plowing only 5 s. 



Thefe two acres have kept twelve horfes 

 conftantly in the Stable from the beginning 

 of April to the end of September, with only 

 a feventh part of the hay they otherwife 

 would have had : The keeping in this 

 manner, Mr. Penny, (and his neighbours 

 alfo,) value at is. a week; or 24^. a week 

 for the two acres.
