CHALK-Land. Barley and wheat will succeed very
well on the better sort of chalky land, and oats gene-
rally do well on any kind of it. The natural produce
of this sort of land in weeds, is that sort of small vetch
called the tine-tare, with poppies, may-weed, &c.
Saint-foin and hop-clover will generally succeed toler-
ably well on these lands; and, where they are of
the better sort, the great clover will do. The best
manure is dung, old rags, and the sheep-dung left af-
ter folding them on it.
