Improvement of arable Land, i p^ 



taken from thern, they may be laid down to 

 Grafs, which will be very excellent ^ a Gen- 

 tleman aflliring me, that it naturally pro- 

 duc'd a kind of white Hony-fuckle, that was 

 very pleafant to Cattle, and made them na- 

 turally produce a great deal of Milk, if Milch 

 Cattle, or otherwife would fatten them to a 

 great degree. Having faid what I have 

 thought at prefent proper in relation to Sand, 

 I call it (No. 8.) or the 8th Superficial Im- 

 provement that I would make in Agricul- 

 ture. 



SECTION. X. 



Of the Superficial Improvement of Land by 

 Pulverized Loame^ or loamy Sand, Clay^ 

 Marie, &c. 



ANother Superficial Covering for poor 

 Corn-Land, efpecially that that is ihal- 

 low, is Loam, or loamy Sand, well beat and 

 reduc'd to a Flower, or any crumbly Confi- 

 ftence ; and this, when fpread over Corn and 

 poor Land will keep it warm, and the nitrous 

 Parts of it fink down and re-invigorate the 

 Ground. And thus indeed, all ftiff Loams, 

 Clays and Maries, d^c. well dried and pul- 

 verized and (bw'd pretty thick over Corn and 

 Grafs, will help them in a wonderful manner,
