the fuccefiion of crops laid down, the land's 

 own produce will fupply a fufficiency. By 

 mowing the flubble, throwing the roots and 

 weeds into the refervoir (as will be defcribed 

 hereafter) you will procure four loads of good 

 manure per acre each time for the two drill 

 crops, and fix loads of top-dr 'effing for the clo- 

 ver j making together fourteen loads per acre 

 for the fix years on an average. If there be a 

 redundancy of manure, the overplus may be 

 laid on the clover. The bean crop might per- 

 haps take more manure than here allowed : but 

 peafe will not bear a larger quantity, as they 

 would be liable to run to flraw and yield but 

 little. Should beans rife too high, it will be 

 neceflary to top them with a fcythe in a ftraight 

 fhaft; which is done at a trifling expence. But 

 if garden beans be fown, they will not be liable 

 to moot too fpindling, as they require richer 

 land. 



When rape feed fells well, a crop might be 

 thrown into this fort of land -, but although rape 

 be in general reckoned profitable, in this in- 

 ftance it could not turn to much greater account, 

 fuppofmg a good return; for rape takes two 

 years to p-oduce a crop on fallow lands, in 

 the old husbandry. It muft be fown in the
