Excerpt from Tillage, a Substitute for Manure, Illustrated by the Principles of Modern Agricultural Science and the Precepts and Practice of Jethro Tull: Including an Epitome of Tull's Operative Directions in Successive Unmanured Corn Culture, and the Particulars of Lois Weedon Husbandry, and Other Instances of Tull's Method of Farming Other experiments similarly conducted, and hitherto attended with like success, are on trial in various parts of the country.
