( 9* ) 
muft be more or lefs, according as the Weather proves 
fair or rainy. 
The reafon of its lying fo long in fwarth is, that 
the lower Heads of the Seed (being expoi&i to the Air 
Wind and Sun) may the better per fe& rhur ripenefs, 
and the Grafs and Weeds that fprung up, ■< ic'a the Stalks 
be thoroughly wither’d, and the Ears oj riead3 well and 
fufficiently rotted 3 that the Seed upon threihing may 
come out clean. 
The Produce upon Land that is very good, is about 
fix Quarters per Acre. 
If the Land be but indifferent, or if the Weeds be 
not kept under, then from four to five Quarters upon 
an Acre is as much as you can expert' 
The Price of Seed is from two Pounds to fix Pounds 
per Quarter 3 but the moffc ufual Price is from Forty 
Shillings to Three Pounds, 
It is difficult to Threlh. . So much of the Seed as, af- 
ter threfhing, is beaten out (as foon as ’tis fann’d) is to 
be run thro’ a Wire Sieve (fuch as is ufed to feparate 
Cockle from Com) and the Husks of every lifting, that 
will not pafs through the Sieve, are to be thrown by 
in a heap to be threfh’d over again. 
The ordinary Price for threfhing is Five Shillings, but 
in Come Years the Threfher has Six Shillings per .Quar- 
ter.
