ploughings, and were manured with fourteen. double horse Cart-loads of dung, and 300 bushels of Shell lime per acre.

The kind of wheat 50wn, was principally the Esgex white and Egyptian red, which in Shape of head and size of grain, are nearly Similar. Some of the white wheat was of the Kent- ish variety, which from being long 80wn upon the farm, was much blended with red wheat. The crop upon the heavy 1oams was with a few trifling exceptions uniformly good. The Ihight loam was much hurt by the growth of yellow weeds, which last year Pprevailed upon Such Soils in an uncommon degree. The whole was ready for the Sickle about the first week'in September, and was cut from the 3d 10 the ith of that month.

From the small quantity yet threshed the produce cannot be exactly ascertained, but from trials whi&h have been made, It is Suppozcd that the fields Sown after the zummer fallow, will yield 40 bushels per acre, those 50wn after beans 36 bushels, and those after tares, Potatoes, and turnips, 24 bushels. The last being upon a light loam, was much injured by the draught and yellow weeds, while the deep loam was rather beneſitted. by the dry weather.

The weight of grain already threshed, is nearly 621b. per Winchester bushel.;

The inferences which may be drawn from the above experi- Mment are,:

Ist. That wheat may be sown with advantage in the Spring months, till the middle of March, if the-weather be then dry, the land in good condition, and the SUCCeeding Summer mo- derately dry.

2dly. That under the above cireumstances the period of the, harvest is not retarded above ten days by the late SOWING, CS- pecially in fayourable Seasofs.

Sdly. That the grain produced from Spring crops of wheat IS equal to that Sown in the autumn and winter months.
