One portion of land was cropped every second "year otiinothcrportion a longer time inter- vened between the crops ot wheat; by a iudicious system of rotation, and al- though wheat was the main crop, yet the increased fertility which this course caused, and the consequent increase both in the wheat and intervening crops, rendered the latter course ultimately the most profitable, and the additional advantage of leaving the ground in the best condition. . - . - r ' ' - Corn, wheat, oats, barJoic being atl similar io their1 effects in exhausting land, it becomes necessary to introduce the culture of tome other -crops more generally than cxistt at present, in or der to form a proper rotation.

' '. The quantity of earth operated on. be ing great, it very seldom, if ever, hajp pen?, that any fall pf rain is so great, as completely to saturate it; ' and until that effect takes place, or nearly so, very lit tle -change is to bo expected in the dis position of its parts; and therefore the rddundant moisture evaporates, it leaves the soil as it found it, except a small crust on the turfuce; the tucceeding ploughings, instead of being applied to repair the injury the toil hat tustained by great fall ol rain, go to the further pulverizing and opening it suitably to receive thu capillary vessels of the plants. Thus the pasture becomes not only moro extensive, hut far better a dapted to promote tho growth of plants. . . SVith respect to aliment, natuialists differ widely in their judgment respect ing its uature and composition: tny o pinion it, that the food of plants has not yet been fully ascertained by any; This however, we all know, fhat manures of j all kinds, contribute in some way or . other to the growth ofplantsj whatever' I i t 'II - A .
