Barley delights in Tandy or gravelly foils, 

 or lime-ftone ; yet, if a clay foil be well mana- 

 ged, it will produce the bed barley for the pur- 

 pofe of making malt ; for when properly ma- 

 nufactured, malt made from barley that has 

 grown on clay-land is found to be more abun- 

 dant in that faccharine juice in which confifts 

 its value for the brewer. Barley will not thrive 

 on moor-land, or peat-earth -, nor does it like 

 alow and wet Gtuation. 



Oats will grow upon any foil, but bear the 

 heavieft and fined crops upon gravel or fand. 

 Fen-lands will produce abundant crops of oats, 

 as will in general all low land, if of a good qua- 

 lity. Lime-ftone land very feldom produces 

 large crops of oats ; neither is a (tiff clay fa- 

 vourable to the propagation of this grain. 



Beans fucceed bed on a clay foil, loam, or 

 wharp. With manure and proper management 

 they will grow on any foil ; but on few fo well 

 as on clay. 



Peas will grow and profper on almoft any 

 foil. They will produce abundantly, and with 

 lefs manure than any grain I ever made trial of. 



Tares will thrive well on ail foils - 3 they grow 

 fpontaneouQy on poor foils of a dry nature.
