fome other objects of agriculture, little known, 

 or little practifed, in Lorrain, and in the 

 bifhopricks ; and which may, notwithftand- 

 ing, be ufeful to the inhabitants of the coun- 

 try, in good as well as in bad years. 



In all good lands, but efpecially light and a 

 little moift, which are defigned for the produc- 

 tion of barley, a double crop may always be 

 obtained. When the barley is fown, and bu- 

 ried under-ground by the plough, or by the 

 harrow, the feeds of carrots may be lightly 

 ftrown over the field, and the roller may be 

 paffed twice over it, which will be fufficient 

 to bury the feed under-ground. As the bar- 

 ley will not hinder the carrots from thriving, 

 a rich crop may be gathered in the month 

 of November. If there is time to clear and 

 to weed the carrots, they will be the finer* 

 No one can be ignorant, that carrots are an 

 excellent food both for men and for beafts. 

 Many perfons are accuftomed to cut the leaves 

 of carrots at different times ; but I have ob- 

 ferved, that this operation hardens them, and 

 tends to impede their vegetation.
