winter's watering will answer in the hay, fully equal 

 to a common manuring of the best stuff you can 

 on the land ; and the expence, in some situations, is 

 trifling. The lower parts of a farm are generally i 

 grass ; the farmer should attend to his ditches, 

 that the water from all the higher parts of the farm

 above the bottom, from which it may be let at plea

In the dry stony countries, walls are the common

 other work, as it is so hard that it will not cut without 

 great difficul ty . But some grit-stones cut with so much 

 ease, that you may build walls of it without mortar, 

 as true as with, and will, if well laid, last nearly as 

 long. In the enclosures of wastes, it is proper, by all 



means,
