ir.oreover, grass on hill-sides and other situations, where it might 



have to be carried a long distance (seeing that ' Loanleah ' admits 



of no roads at this stage), is not so very valuable as to induce 



any one to cut it without receiving other compensation than the 



grass itself. If, then, he has to pay for the cutting of his grass for 



a few years, he will find that paring, previous to notch-planting, or 



pitting, if the soil is not of a too retentive nature, and the insertion 



of stronger plants, is infinitely the cheaper and l)etter plan, and that 



it is so even although he could get his grass cut for nothing.
