afterwards, if possible, you should manure (ot your 



wheat. 



Fields intended for summer fallows should be turned 

 up in the preceding- autumn, immediateh/ after re- 

 moving the crop, at which time also all stubbles should 

 be turned in, and (after lying- ft-ee from water dur- 

 ing- the winter, and while spring work is going on) 

 ploughed during the succeeding summer, in the man- 

 ner I have recommended. £1/ such a fallow, weeds 

 and insects are destroyed, and a single horse, with a 

 common Irish plough, can open drills for the wheat 

 with perfect ease ; and all the succeeding cropp 

 will be clean. Now, my good friends, have any of 

 you ever seen such a fallow? — Believe me it is much 

 better than giving- two scratchings, and turning co-svs, 

 calves, horses, mules, asses, afld pigs, to cut down the 

 thistles, ragweed, docks, &c. &c which should never 

 be suffered to grow at all. 



No, ni. 



Arrange yotir house in order dae, 

 Your garden, gates, and fences, too ; 

 Neglect's offensive, and what's worse, 

 It helps to make an empty purse. 



The size of your fields should depend on the ex- 

 tent of your farm, the nature of yoiu* soil, and the 

 sub soil, the rotations to be adopted, the number of 

 ploughs, the slope of the ground, its being in pastvu-e 

 or tillage, and the natiu*e of the chmate. If you have 

 ave-ry large farm, you shoxild have large fields — sup- 

 pose from 15 to 25 acres — and the number is to be 

 regulated by the rotation of crops which you intend 

 to have. In a four-crop rotation, 4 or 8 fields -will 

 answer best ; in a six-crop rotation, 6 or 12 divisions 

 must be made — and these fields should be of equal
