bean crop. Mr. Arbuckle takes wheat from 

 the clover lea, giving it from thirty to forty 

 bushels of lime per acre, and is of opinion that 

 lime, when applied hot from the kilns, is very 

 serviceable in destroying the grub. He first 

 ploughs the clover under very deeply, then re- 

 peats the ploughings twice so superficially as 

 not to disturb the former surface. 



The produce of this farm is estimated at 

 forty bushels of wheat, seventy-five of oats, 

 and sixty of beans, per Scotch acre. As the 

 soil is naturally good, and the management 

 very appropriate, I do not think the estimate 

 over-rated. The horses on the farm are all 

 soiled, and are in the highest condition. There 

 were four iron ploughs at work ; and as Mr. 

 Arbuckle and his men approve them, it is pro- 

 bable they will become generally adopted. 



On returning to Wigton we passed an admi- 

 rable crop of turnips in a farm belonging to 

 Mr. Henry.
