 great crops, both hay, pafture, and corns. 



Mofs and hot lime, laid on carfe clay s will 

 produce great cropc of wheat. This laft is 

 praclifed in the carle of Stirling with very 

 great fuccefs. 



Laying mofs and lime upon the poorelt 

 ground when dry, even the bare rocks, will

 to be found. Draining and watering will 

 alter the nature of the foil very much. 



The fecond reafon may be, fome perfons
