kinds of wood; fromthe quick growth of the latter, 
and from the little experience I have had of it in my 
own wood, | think I may venture to fay it may be 
cut down every feven years for faggots, at which 
time they will make very good ones:—Specimens 
of the black withey I have brought to the rooms; 
a one-year’s fhoot ten feet, and a four-year’s growth 
near fix inches round. Suppofe in planting, the 
feed of the chefnut, and the cutting of the withey, 
are planted alternately, allowing fix feet every way, 
which I think would be giving them fufficient fpace. 
The cuttings of the withey to be about fix inches 
long, to be fet four inches in the ground, and two 
out; and the chefnut in the third year, fuppofe the 
beginning of the month of March, to be cut down 
to within two inches of the ground; it will throw 
- out four, five, or fix fhoots, or offsets, as the {pring 
advances, and increafe after every felling. 
Now | am fpeaking of planting, let me recom- 
mend every landlord to oblige the tenant (by a claufe 
in his leafe) to affign a {pot of ground (fuppofe half 
an acre) to be well fenced and ditched, and having 
a fouth or a fouth-eaft afpeét if poffible, to be dug 
up and well cleaned, and lie to mellow; and when 
duly prepared, to be fowed in ftrait lines with oak 
acorns, horfe-chefnuts, afh feeds, elm and poplar, 
the rows to be fix feet diftant from each other, at 
Jeaft, that there may be room for digging, hoeing, 
&c. to be conftantly kept clean and in order: (the
