 Mr. PuRDis, of Eggmore, s very uncommon variation 

 iiom the general husbandry : 



i. Turnips, 4. Seed^, 



2. Barley, 5. Tares, 



3. Seeds, 6. Wheat. 



Upon a large part of this fine farm the former rotation 

 included a summer-fallow, which afforded (broken at 

 whatever time) little food for live stock ; tares now occupy 

 the place, and support immense herds of cattle and sheep. 

 What a noble spectacle is this faim ! 300 acres of turnips, 

 500 of barley, 600 of seeds, 300 of tares, and' 300 of 

 wheat: 1800 acres arable, the crops luxuriant, and 

 much the greater part of the farm very clean ; all of it 

 except the layers ; on which, however, some thistleo, so 

 diiEcult to extirpate. 



Mr. Thurtell, near Yarmouth, is in the four-shifi,

2. Barley, 5. Barley; 



3. Clover, 



with two variations pracSlised sometimes by Mr. Everit?

I. 2. Cole seed instead of turnips and barley, taking 

 two years, 



3. Wlieat, 



4. Barley; but not a great crop; and then turnips 



again. 



The other is, to substitute pease instead of clover, foU
