ADDENDA 5

“GC EED Pr es

TO the note, page 68, the reader is defired to add,— The reſult of this experiment was, that, in the harveſt of 1797, ſuch parts of the wheat, the ſeed of which was pickled and limed, as well as that which was pickled and not limed, was nearly free from ſmut; but that which was neither pickled nor limed, had ſmutted ears in a= bundance, at leaſt a hundred times more than the other: it may be proper to obſerve, the ſced was purpoſely taken with a few balls of ſmut in it.—This experiment is decifively in favour of ſteeping in chamberlye,

The following addition 1s alſo deſired to be made,(at the bottom of page 69,) to the paragraph on drilling, ending,“ on moiſt ſoils.”—We have lately found it moſt convenient to yoke two horſes to the drill, one going in each furrow, and to drill ſeven rows upon a ridge, of 80 to 84 inches wide, when the intervals are Io+® or II inches; and go inches wide, when the intervals are 12 inches,

With the horſcs yoked in this manner in a five-row drill, ten rows may be ſown upon ridges Io2 feet wide, leaving a Íípace on the top of the ridge, about I4 inches wide, for one of the horſes to travel on; this is ſuppoſing the intervals 12 inches wide; but, if the intervals be 102 inches, then the ridges may be 92 feet wide.—A light

Barrow is fixed to the drill, to cover in the ſeed.
