ought likewife to deoend on the means of improving the foil for where the land is poor and the means of enriching it is fcanty the depth of plough ing ought to be in proportioh to the quan tity of manure which can be obtained 3 deep ploughing is highly advantageous upon eveiy toil excepting thoic where the fubftratum a cf an ochry fand in fa a fuch fands arc scarcely worthy of being cultivated unlefs in fituaiion where much alluvial compoit or hort town manure can be procured 4 it is a general lule never to plough fo deep as to penetrate be low the oil that was formeily manuted and cultivated excepting upon faliow and then only when you have plenty of lime or dung to add to and improve the new loil 5 many farmers recommend when fallowing laud to go as deep as pofliblc with the firft furrow by which the lub- fequent furrows will be more easily done and to expofe the foil to the winters froft and to the lummers heat but when the land is ploughed in fpting for a crop ot oats a
