Where the water comes over a large bods 

 of limeftoue, it has a particular fcrtili/im 1 

 quality. 



All waters, cfpecially when muddy, ferti- 

 lize the foil, provided they are made to (land 

 dead , though every one not in an equal de- 

 gree. 



From thefe obfervations it is very clear and 

 evident, that many foils, in the different fi- 

 tuations defcribed, may be fo improved, by 

 means of inclofing, draining, banking, and 

 then watering, as to make the pooreft of 

 them at leaft double, and fome of them a- 

 bove ten times their prefent value. And that, 

 perhaps, at not the twentieth or even the 

 hundredth part of the advantages arifing from 

 purfuing the methods recommended. There- 

 fore it ought to be the ftudy of every gentle- 

 man proprietor, and tenant, to improve up- 

 on thefe hints, according to their different 

 local fituatious. 



The veiy great profits that would arife 



from inclofing, draining, banking, and then 



iig of mollcs, morals, and meadow 



, by the fides of rivers, makes me 



wonder how they came to be fo uni- 



'^leded ; when it is confidered how 



fr.
