On the Drill Husbandry of Turnips. 
73 
To lead a drill-liorse straight on level land^ with a common drill, 
requires a person with a firm, steady step, and who, of course, 
can walk pcrlcclly straight. He must also keep his attention 
constantly on his work, and his horse at a regular distance from 
him. For this there is quite as great a difference in horses as in 
men. I have known instances where the driU-horse could not be 
relieved at his work by another without spoiling the appearance 
of the drilling, although there were upwards of thirty good plough- 
horses to choose from. 
In gaining the experience on which the foregoing observations 
are founded, my maxims were, — " Observe tliy neighbour's prac- 
tice and the effects that follow it, whetlier he has the reputation 
of being clever or not. Above all, be cautious not to pin thy 
faith too closely to those who have the reputation of best knowing 
their business. Pay the utmost attention to what they do or re- 
commend, that thou mayest select onli/ such of their modes as 
are suitable to thine own circumstances."
