$24. On the Rotation of Crops.{May
Third year.—Fatten your flocks with the tares as before de- scribed, and as they are consumed prepare the soil, and sow. either turnips or cole in rows across the ridges, to be served: as mentioned the first year.
* Fourth year.—Spring sown wheat, to be succeeded by win- ter tares, the same as in the second year.
Fifth year.—Tares, to be succeeded by turnips or cole, as in the third year.
Sixth year—Barley, on so much of the land as may happen to be in fine tilth, and oats on the residue, with a large portion of white clover, some of Peacey’s rye grass and other grasses to continue.
THIRDLY, TUE UNIVERSAL ROTATION.
_ First year.—If the land be already in aration, fallow and manure it for turnips or cole; if it be in grass pare and burn the turf, plough in the ashes, and sow turnips or cole; in every case for being eaten on the land, when the season will per- mit, and by splitting, aided by frost, rot the remainder for ma-~ nure.
Second year.—Spring sown wheat, to be succeeded by win- ter tares, in the manner described for the second year on a barley soil. 2
Third year.—Mow and serve the tares to sheep, and then prepare the soil according to its nature, in point of being dryy or wet, either on the flat or in rows, and sow turnips or cole, to be eaten of rotted as aforesaid.
Fourth year.—Spring sown wheat, to be succeeded by win- ter tares, as in the second year.
Fifth year.—Cultivate the two green crops, and consume. them on the land by sheep, as in the third year.’
Sixth year.—W heat sown in the spring, to be succeeded by tares in the autumn, asin the second and fourth years.
Seventh year.—The same as the fifth.
_ This succession of two green crops and one corn crop, may be continued for any length of time; the whole rotation consisting of three crops may be obtained every two years. On this system the land will always be clean and full of animal manure, capable of being laid-down to grass at'a mo- ment’s notice, or of being continued in aration for ever. One moiety of every farm, may, in this manner, annually bear corn for the sustenance of man, and the other moiety may bring to perfection two green crops, which will support herds of neat cattle and large flocks of sheep.‘
This system admits of-being universally applied. It is ca- pable of doubling the present agricultural produce, and that circumstance would certainly encrease the number of inhabi- {ants in the same degree.
