barley or cmts. The clover crop- lies eighteen 

 months, after which only one ploughing will 

 be-requifite before the field be fown with wheat. 

 The wheat will be about ten months on the 

 ground ; and it will be two months after the 

 crop is reaped-, before it be fallowed for tur- 

 nips, &c i which together makes a period of 

 thirty months for one ploughing. By letting 

 the clover crop lie 18 months, the couch -grafs 

 gets a very (Irong root •, and, when the land 

 is ploughed for wheat, and the foil lightened, 

 that pernicious weed will fpread rapidly around. 

 Therefore all poffible care fhould be taken to 

 clean the field thoroughly, before it is fov/n 

 with turnips, and made ready for barley and 

 clover ; for, if you neglect the opportunity of 

 doing it at that time, you will not have another 

 before April three years after. 



Red clover is properly a native of a clay foil ; 

 but will fucceed upon almoft any, in proporti- 

 on to the goodnefs of the land. It is improper 

 to be fown with grafs-feeds, when intended for 

 paflure or meadow ; for, as it has a root not 

 only very large, but likewife very broad at the 

 bottom ; and as it tillers very much, it muft of 

 courfe obilrucl: their growth. Trefoil is very 



proper
