LEICESTERSHIRE, 
The Leicefter Journal of the 6th of De- 
cember contains an ingenious paper on the 
fubje& of tranfplanting wheat, as the means 
of providing againit the expeéted fcarcity of 
that neceflary of life. It is recommended 
““to fow, in dry land, as much corn as may 
be deemed neceflary to plant in the foring 
any number of acres which may be occupied 
with that article in the following year. 
When the foil. is prepared, a furrow iste be 
made with a very {mall plough and one horfe, 
in the centre of the ridge or land, returning 
back in the fame traét (this time only of 
every ridge), then turn towards the left 
hand, and plough another furrow, about 
eight or nine inches from the firft furrow, 
turning always to the left hand, till the 
whole ridge is finifhed; it will then be 
formed into trenches, in parallel lines. of 
about eight or nine inches afunder, and imi 
tate what gardeners term drawing of drills. 
In thefe furrows the plants are to be laid.” 
Mr, JouN ArnsworTH, of Glen, the ex- 
perienced author of this communication, 
fays he has praétifed this method with the 
moft complete fuccefs.
