Mr. Vyner. 1 had ploughed up a rich piece 

 of pafturc, and got a crop of oats, turnips, bar- 

 kvj and wheat* As Mr. Vyner had plenty of 

 ilone-lime in the next parifh, I was induced to 

 fetch fome, and lay it crofs the land intended 

 for wheat, in two dire6lions : but, as long as I 

 remained upon the farm, every crop was light- 

 er upon the two parts limed than upon any 

 other. 



From the above experiments this inference 

 may fairly be drawn refpecting the ufe of lime : 

 that it is chiefly favourable to a light fand, or 

 mixed gravel, and to peat earth, moor, &c.
