 1 think I need not remember my Reader, co^/^ofer^. 

 that the Number of Loads above-mentioned, \Te ^an- 

 are fimply confider'd as the Proportions of a tity, 

 proper Mixture 5 but that Quantity ought to 

 be repeated till one has a fufficient Magazine. 

 An hundred Load is a confideraSIe Quantity 

 for a fmall Garden, tho' I (hall advife rather 

 Two hundred, inafmuch as the Earth will 

 take no Hurt, but rather improve by lying. 



It ought to be remembred to clear this to be tuYn'd 

 Mould once or twice in a Winter, and omtt^j^^orfour 

 or twice in a Summer 5 and to take care that^^^^"^ ^^ ^ 

 the Weeds do not grow too much on it, which 

 they are very apt to do, and will confequent- 

 Jy confiderably eradicate and exhauft the Sali- 

 fick and Vital part of the Earth. 



It may probably be expeded 1 ihould have 

 added a third and fourth kind of Earth ^ but 

 this I have purpofely avoided, fince thofe that 

 confider the Reafons of making thefe, cann't 

 fail of making a third, &c. according as the 

 Nature of their Land requires. 



' I am not willing to mifs this Opportunity Advice u 

 of advifing the Country Farmer and Grafier tbeFamen 

 to the preparing of their Dung-heaps after 

 this manner, fince the common way of fpread- 

 ing Dung over Land, be it either Arable or 

 Failure, can by no means anfwer the End 5 

 for all Dungs being of a volatile Nature, the 

 nitrous Parts are the eafier exhaled by the 

 attraftive Power of the Sun, and the Dung 

 iifelf of confequence rendred dry, husky, 

 and of little ufe.
