utmoft poflible care. Your own judgment 

 mud be the guide as to the fort of harrow you 

 make ufe of, and as to the time of doing it. 

 It is next to impofiible to harrow them too 

 well. I have feen an extraordinary crop on 

 fward without harrowing it at all 5 but it cer- 

 tainly is the beft and fureft way not to omit it. 

 The above is a very cheap method of railing 



potatoes, and perhaps the mod profitable of all 

 others upon fward-land -, for by the very {mo- 

 thering crop, and the getting up of the pota- 

 toes at the latter end of the year, the foil is 

 finely broken and reduced nearly to apulverifed 

 Hate, cheaper and fooner than by any other 

 means; and confequently this is the readied 

 and beft mode of rendering it fit to receive 



corn. 



If the land is covered with mofs, or with 



rough grafs, rufhes or haffocks, the method 

 here prefcribed will be found to anfwer, though 

 not fo well as paring and burning. The pota- 

 toes being ploughed up, and fcratched out of 

 the ground by women and children, the roots 

 become fo much loofened that it is eafy to har- 

 row them out, and they may be quickly ga^ 

 thered up.
