 in fome meafure to recover naturally, without the a 

 fiftance of clover and hay-feeds, or either, good paf-

 fidered too wet and precarious for tillage ; rocky and 

 fkrubby land, out of the reach of a farmer to bring in- 

 to culture; mountainy foil, deemed not capable of 

 bringing crops of corn to maturity; and bog and 

 marfhy foils, as far as cattle are able to make their
