The farmers, near London,make a considerable profit of their Tares, by selling them green, as soiling for horses; and I have seen in Kent, drilled crops of them of immense weight, Juxuriantly covering the whole surface of the soil, as though they had‘been broad-cast. Some of these crops mowed forhay, I have reason to believe, produced more than three ton per acre; and upon others, kept for seed, the land being in good heart, the product was considerable in proportion.

Piantine.— the planting either of fruit-trees, or of quick-growing wood, fit for various pur- poses, will contribute largely to the convenience of a tenant, who has a long lease, and pay him very good interest for his money. The aquatics in general, are proper in this intent; namely, the willow, osier, sallow, alder; and for dry situations the upland, or red willow, which although not so quick a grower as the other, produces a very du- rable wood. Willow wood resists water, and re- mains sound many years after that period at which almost any other would be totally decayed and useless.,“These quick growers, planted in large stakes, form an exceilent repair for decayed fences, and properly managed, with other aids which may be at hand, ina very few seasons pro- duce a full and flourishing hedge-row. In short, it is a disgrace toa man of common activity, to
