 which may be one cause of the Hessian fly:

 than any man's one hundred acres of wheat

 and twenty loads of dung from the most 

 correct process in each year : and I am of

 regularly in the garden ; nor would the 

 garden be worth any thing without such 

 manuring ; therefore there remain only 

 seventy loads. Then they generally raise

 which we may allow forty of those seventy 

 loads : and there are but thirty loads of 

 dung left to be applied to the four hundred 

 acres of land per yean To allow ten loads 

 to the acre, as we do in England all over 

 the soil, the proportion of land manured 

 would be three acres per year ; so that it 

 would be more than one hundred and
