five or fix weeks, or probably longer, under the moft fevere 
pains that had happened during any harveft for a great length 
of time, it was found that, except a few of the top-fheaves, 
the whole was in a furprizing ftate of prefervation. n 
this was the more rkable, as th ps in f f the adja-

earefully ftooked and hooded matted toge- 
ed, were grown t

apprehended, the practice of hutting grain in the field may 
be fafely advifed as a beneficial plan. And where the weather 
fpringing of the grain in

per method is to reap and gait as expeditioufly as poflible.

Where it is difficult to provide a {ufficient number of 
reapers, and where the farms are very large, Ul as the 
contrary 
ought to fugget the propriety and advantage of fowing at 
an earlier period, and of exerting every bl

evils, and the iloffes, inconveniences, and anxicties which 
they produce, are only to be alleviated by the greatelt ace: 
tion, care, and exertion during fuch bufy periods.
