Mproyement of arable Land, i $ J 



thefe Grounds, will be fuperficial Drcffings 

 (if it can be)of MaltDuft,WoodAlhes,and fuch 

 other DreflingSjWhich I fliall elfewherere com- 

 mend for being by Nature fluggifli and un- 

 aftive. Thefe Dreffings will give it a new- 

 Ferment and Aftivity ; and Experience tells 

 ws, how much this does that way. The fe- 

 veral Changes I have heretofore mentioned, 

 are likewife very proper in this, as well as iri 

 other Lands. Grain of different Sorts, pro- 

 cured from different Places, will ftill have 

 their natural Goodnefi and Largenefs: And 

 in (hort, thefe ftrong Cfays, if fown with 

 Wheat or Barley, if they have a Winter fal- 

 low, and are fuperficially covered over with 

 any of our Afhes, and other Volatile Com- 

 pdfures and hot Dungs, as Pidgeons, &c» 

 rWill produce' iti' sfe great Perfeftion as many 

 other Lands, that appear of a more natural 

 and genuine Conftitution* It would be of 

 excellent Advantage to all thefe Kind of 

 Lands, if in their rough Fallows there could 

 be Quantities enough of Sea Sand, or Coal 

 Alhes, or Pidgeon*s Dung , this would fo me- 

 liorate the lumpiih Quality of it, and would 

 fall in with the Ruins of the Lumps, that the 

 Groundwould work as fine as anyGarden^and 

 50 or 40 Loads will be fufficient in an Acre 

 of the worfr Lands of all ; the Ficrcenefs of 

 thofe Improvements will thus be taken ofF,and 

 the Ground it feif reduc'd to a Flower , for 

 this we fee by Experience in our Gardens,
