atcly from the fprings, and without any foreign 

 affiilance, has an amazing effect; the fertilizing 

 quality is really aftonifhing. Meadows under this 

 defcription, if eaten quite bare in the month of

 much grafs in them as the mower can throw out 

 with his fey the;* from one to two and often three 

 good waggon-loads an acre. Add to this, the 

 herbage being better, is of more value, and the 

 meadows juftly efteemed the bed. 



Lands of the fecond divifion are certainly greatly 

 benefited by the water being thrown over them, 

 perhaps as much as the other, confidering the dif- 

 ference of the two foils in their natural (late.

 rufhes, fedge, and a coarfe three-fquare grafs. 



* Half-a-crown an acre is the price generally given for mowing.
