Of the Superficial tireffingf avd Imj^rovement 

 oj Land by TurffA^ns. 



TUrff Allies come next to our Confide- 

 ration 5 and as they may be very well 

 got in much greater Qi;iantity than any other 

 Superficial Manure we have been yet fpeak-^ 

 ing of (I fliall not here refer to burn-baking, 

 that being of another Kind) but Ihall fpeak 

 of it as it relates to TurfF and other combu- 

 ftible Mold and Manures that may be colledled 

 in High-ways, Woods, Heaths, and Com- 

 mons, and reducM by Fire into Afhes> for the 

 ftrowing over our Corn and Meadow Lands^ 

 an induftrious Man would therefore leave no 

 wafte Places, High- ways, nor Corners un^ 

 fought, but would pick it up and lay it in 

 heaps ^nd burn it, as he does the TurfF in 

 common burn-baking, and would carry it 

 and have it ready to Ipread over his Corn and 

 Grazing or Meadow Ground, as the Times 

 ufually appointed for fuch Works, require 

 the fleecing up and burning, fliould be done 

 in May and part of Jvne^ which will alfo be 

 a proper Time to amend and repair the High- 

 ways with Stones if a deep Country, and the 

 taking away the Turff in all High-ways, is 



much
