[ 333 ] 



The Earl of Darlington* only by means 

 of flacking his hay at his farm-yard, makes 

 more dung in one year, than the common 

 farmers on the fame track of land in ten. 



Refpe&ing the point of ftubble, I have 

 not, at prefent, room to difcufs it fully. I 

 have heard objections made to it ; but none 

 of weight. In the regiiier of my experi- 

 ments in Suffolk, which I propofe laying 

 before the public, this matter will be proved, 

 from a great variety of trials. 



Refpecting compofts, moit of the com- 

 mon farmers are backward ,• but the Mar- 

 quis of Rockingham has carried this hulban- 

 dry to perfection. Mr. Scroop has alfo 

 exerted himfelf with uncommon Ipirit in it. 



Upon the whole, the merit of manuring 

 chiefly lies with the landlord; but their 

 tenants are very backward. The dependence 

 on lime is every where too great, and the 

 neglect of farm-yard dung univerfal : The 

 latter is of fuch importance in agriculture, 

 that too much attention cannot be given 

 to it.
