On thefe courfes it is noticed, that the produce of the 
firft of them, though there is only one grain-crop in the 
fix years, is fo conTiderable, as to prove the difadvantage 
of exhaufting courfes, efpecially as the circumftances un¬ 
der which they are put in are l'uppofed to be unfavour¬ 
able, on account of the land, after turnips and potatoes, 
from the repeated tillage which is required for Inch crops, 
being left in too light and porous a ftate for the growth 
of beans. It has the advantage, however, of leaving the 
land perfectly clean, and in a fertile condition. It like- 
wife proves, in the opinion of the experimenter, that great 
attention may be had to the keeping of land clean and in 
heart, by gentle modes of cropping, without the danger 
of immediate injury being fuftained by it. And it is 
further fuppofed, that, if beans or wheat had been the 
crop of the fourth year upon the manure, in place of the 
potatoes, the profit on the whole would have been more, 
without the ground being left in a lefs fertile condition. 
In regard to the two lall courfes, they fhow, from there 
being but one grain-crop in fix years, that though cab¬ 
bages, by being removed from the land, exhauft, three 
crops of beans are fufficient to preferve the land fora good 
wheat-crop, befides leaving it in good heart. They are, 
confequently, profitable courfes, and fuch as are fuited to 
the obtaining of perfeft cleannefs of culture. In the lat¬ 
ter courfe, the profit is however lefs, from the circum- 
fiance of potatoes being had recourfe to as a crop

The experimenter on thefe courfes fuggefts, that it is 
evident, from the firft, that fucceflive crops of beans have 
a confiderable ameliorating property, as both the cab¬ 
bages and beans after them were very. good. Their ef¬ 
fects in preferving the fertility arifing front the old turf 
is likewife obvious, as well as that of keeping the land 
perfectly free from weeds, at the fame time that a good 
profit is afforded. It alfo affords a ftrong proof of the 
advantage of a careful method of cropping newly-broken- 
up lands. Such courfes fhould, confequently, be more 
frequently employed on all thofe ftiff and retentive de- 
fcriptions o> land on which beans can be grown, both 
with the view of immediate profit, and the benefits that 
may enlue from the land being kept clear and free from 
noxious weeds. In refpecl to the feccnd,it affords, in his 
opinion, an example of a good’ and correct mode of prac¬ 
tice, without much exhauftion 5 though, if compared 
with the preceding courfe, there appears to be a flight 
degree of deterioration from the wheat, in that being a 
quarter more. It may, however, be adopted as a very 
profitable courfe. The laftof thefe courfes is well known 
to be a very profitable one on all the richer forts of heavy 
foils ; and it is here fhown, he thinks, to anfvver well on 
fuch as are of an inferior quality, even without the ap¬ 
plication of manure. The power of bean-crops, in pre¬ 
ferving the fertility of lands newly broken up from fward, 
is likewife here evinced by the fixth crop, though inferior 
to others. This courfe fhould not, however, in general, 
be attempted, except on the richeft fort of heavy-foiled 
kinds of land.
