^ip6 Of the Management^ anJ 

 effeftaal in the Bufinefs of Vegeration, and 

 in the Growth and Produftion of Plants and 

 Corn. The firft are great Improvements to 

 chalky, binding Lands 5 fuch, are many of 

 thofe in Hwtpjhire and Willfhire^ and many 

 other Places. About 25 or 26 Bufhels will 

 manure an Acre, being chopped fmali and har- 

 rowed in with the Corn, or ftrewed ovcr^^ 

 afterwards by Hand. The Hair of Beafts is ; 

 Jikewife very good Manure to throw over 

 Lands, could we procure great <^antities:^ 

 but this our Plafterers rob us of. Dyer*s 

 Dung is by fome accounted an excellent Im- 

 provement of Landj and two Load of it is 

 lufficicnt foran Acre, but I have not feen 

 this us'd any where. If to all that we have 

 faitf, we adcf the wafte Bark out of Tann 

 Yat^s-, which has a very rich Salt in it: 

 As like wife all the other Refufe and Sweep- 

 ings of the Tanners, which may be bought, 

 I fuppofe, for I d.OT 2 d. per Bulliel. Thefe, 

 I {ay, all laid up in our Confcrvatory, and 

 fpread on Corn, muft of courfe improve it, 

 but for fear they fhould be too ftrong before 

 they are correfted by Fire, and that they 

 Ihould not anfwer the Intent of Tillage foon 

 enough, it would be well to burn them, and 

 tho* there will be lefs in Quantity, it will go 

 much farther ; 4 or 5 Load of this being un- 

 doubtedly fufficient for an Acre of Land, and 

 much better than 2 c or 25 unburnt, and will 



much
