Improvement of arable Land. 1 5^ 

 Wheat, and Winter for Barley are of excel* 

 lent ufe^ as for Peafe, Beans, and Oats, 

 they are Grains that require the leaft Prepara- 

 tion of any that the Husbandman lows, 

 and are indeed a kind of Tillage them- 

 felves, by reducing Grounds to a proper 

 Temper, and the Grounds may rem.ain 

 as rough, as if they were juft fa!low*d, 

 and yet produce thofe Crops^ About 

 Fifty or Sixty Load of Sea Sand, Cole Allies, 

 or Pigeons Dung will be a good fimple Ma- 

 nure for it 5 or you may make ufe of the 

 Compofition I have before prefcrib'd for 

 Clayey Grounds, but what are of mighty 

 Advantage for all tliefe kind of Lands, are 

 the Superficial Dreffings of Malt Duft, Cole 

 Aflies, Wood and Straw Afhes, Pigeons 

 Dung, &c. laid on upon your Corn in Ja- 

 frnary^ Fehniary or Aiarchj after the Crop is 

 fow'd ; becaufe it gives new Spirit, Life and 

 Vigour to the Grain and Ground Jikewife* 

 And this fliould never be neglefted to Ground, 

 that is any ways poor, and has not been ma- 

 nured before fowing. 



But the chief of theft Soils I am upon, and 

 on which I intend to enlarge the moft, are 

 thofe that are by Nature light 5 becaufe, tho* 

 they are eafier brought into Tillage thaa 

 other Lands, yet are they fooner wore 

 out, and will confequently require more and 

 oftner Applications to redrefs them.
