cuftom is to have one man on the cart, and a 

 woman, or boys and girls, to fpread the manure 

 regularly along the drills. This is a good me- 

 thod of proceeding. It is very eafy to count 

 the number of drills contained in an acre of 

 land -, and thus, if your carts are regularly filled, 

 every acre of ground will be manured in an 

 equal manner, which is not eafily done by the 

 old method. 



SECTION VI. 



Beft Method of treating each Crop -, with the Sea- 

 Jon for Sowing and Reaping. 



THE wheat crop may be fown from Sep- 

 tember to January with nearly equal fuccefs. 

 Late fowing in fome parts has anfwered fo well, 

 that many farmers have fown fo late as Febru- 

 ary ; but, in general, November will be found 

 to be the bed month ; except where lands are 

 liable to be flooded in the winter. That fore 

 of land mould be fown as early as pofiible; 

 becaufe,if the plants get weaned from the kernel, 

 and take hold of the earth for fupport, water 

 may continue upon them a long time, without 

 much injuring them. But, if the land were 

 flooded before the wheat comes up, it would be 

 totally deftroyed.
