Improvement cf arable Land, i 6j 



feaufted Lands, as I have before- mentioned in 

 the Cafe of my Friend, that digg d only a 

 Saw-pit in one corner of his Field, and there 

 found a coarft, rough fort of Earth and Clay, 

 which nevertheleft fertilized his Land in a 

 very great Degree, and inclin'd him, when he 

 had once feen the Advantage of it, to dig 

 Pits on purpofe, wherewith he improved his 

 Land ; and this is particularly ufeful where 

 the Ground lies a great way from Dung, and 

 other better known Improvements , the* even 

 there this would be advantageous for a 

 Change, Thefe feveral Changes, in the Cul- 

 ture and Management of Lands, are of migh- 

 ty Value, becauft it has always been obferv'd 

 by our skilful Husbandmen, that the Dreffing 

 of Ground, one and the fame way, two 

 or three times has not had the good 

 EfiFed of that Change 5 and of this I defire 

 particular Notice Ihould be taken. But if the 

 Ground be poor and well tired our, then it is

 have been difcover'd in this and the laft Cen-

 Clover, Treefoil and Regrafs, and for poorer 

 dry Land on a rocky ,fliellyGround,JW/»/-Fo7>/ 

 French Tares or Vetches, becaufe there are 

 none of thefe but you may plough in after 

 you have fed them a Year or two 5 or you 

 may, if you want Grazing Ground and Fod-
