 would produce four loads. If the land were 

 fown with rye-grafs, trefoil, and white-clover, 

 during the fummer, as large a quantity of feeds 

 would be fried as ever were fown upon the land* 

 If the compoft were then fpread (four loads 

 per acre) and bum-harrowed in, and the field 

 not depaftured during the winter; the feeds 

 fhed in the fummer would vegetate, with the 

 additional help and encouragement of the ma- 

 nure, and the land would be in no refpect in-

Having explained at length the method of
