There is then a clear profit of £.100 i%s. 

 upon one acre by my method of cropping, for 

 twenty-one years, I do not think it is poffible 

 to apply this fort of land to a better purpofe, 

 when a farm can fpare a proper quantity of 

 it for that ufe. In the natural ftate it has paid 

 j£.5 5^. in twenty-one years, which isjuit 5r. per 

 acre, and as much as can be expected. 



Red clover ought not to be fown but where 

 the land is intended to lie for only one year. 

 It is, in my opinion, the bed preparation for 

 wheat, when the ground it is fown upon is per- 

 fectly clean; but by no means fo, when the 

 land is foul and full of couch-grafs, &c. The 



feed fhould be fown with the fpring crop of 



barley
