1[6o Of the Management y and 



■ As for Summer or Winter fallowing, there 

 is not that Occafion here, as there is in heavier 

 Lands ; and, if they are very light, need not 

 to be fallowed at all, it being obferv'd by 

 Husbandmen, that they produce Abundance 

 of Weeds, as Charnock, d^r. after fuch ari 

 Expofiire ; when ever you have a Mind then 

 to plow fuch Lands, if they want dunging, 

 be provided of large Leftals of fuch Dung, 

 Earths, c^r. as can be got at hand, always 

 remembring, what I have in the firft Volume 

 affirmy , that Dung and Earth mix'd together 

 are much more advantageous to the Improve- 

 ment of Lands than Dung us*d feparately, 

 for the Reafons there affign'd 5 and I muft 

 iirterly condemn the Method fome of our 

 Country Men take of fpreading their Dung 

 in littJe heaps all over their Land, for that 

 the Sun exhaufts and eradicates the Salt and 

 Fertility thereof, by its long Expofure in the 

 Summer Months, and is indeed fo dry'd, as 

 not to retain any Virtue at all. 



For Lands of this Kind take, then, the fol- 

 lov/ipg Compofitions ; one Load of rotten 

 Dung ^ one Load of Lime ^ one of the 

 Shovelling of Streets, and half a Load of 

 Cole Ailaes, Pigeons Dung, or Sea Sand ,• or, 

 in Default of that, the wafliing of Hills. Atid 

 if amongft thefe there are mix'd half a Load 

 or any Quantity, in Proportion, of Garden 

 Sweeping's, of t he Leaves and Trad) of Trecs^ 

 the Guts and Garbage of Beafts and Fowl,
