Sect. I. Of Improvements in the Art of Tillage, 



Tillage confifts in breaking, crumbling, and pul- 

 verizing the foil; which in the early ages of agri-

 but from experience it was found that the more 

 perfedlly this was performed, and the cleaner from 

 weeds the foil was kept, the larger, the cleaner, and 

 confequently of the more value was the produce.
