Chap* I a^ 77?^ Conclufion. 333 



There are feveral other Kinds of Foreft-^/ federal 

 Trees, all of them very eafily rais'd from ::;t,",5! 

 what has been already delivered 3 the chidrrees, 

 of them Birch, Maple, Sallows, and Afli^ 

 they may be mix d promifcuoufly with other 

 Wood, and 'twill be no eafy matter to im- 

 pede or hinder their Growth. 



I have one thing -more to add, in relation 

 to the Raifing Wood^ for befides the Length 

 of Time before Wood comes to its Per- 

 feftion, and to make any Returns, the Huf- 

 bandman and fome felfifh Perfons objed a- 

 gainft Planting or Raifing Wood, on account 

 of the Lofs of Land for many Years. I 

 muft confefs, in Torkjhire^ and fome other 

 Coal- Countries, the Under- wood is of very 

 ' little Value 3 but in others, where Coals are 

 hard to come by, the Under-wood will in 

 a great meafure, pay the Rent of the Ground ^ 

 and where Land will not yield above 18^. 

 or 2 5. an Acre, which is the Price in many 

 Places of England, 'tis very certain that Wood 

 is as profitable a Commodity as any they can 

 fow 3 but Oak and Beech, Afii and Elm, are 

 in all Countries of excellent Ufe : And I 

 cann't but recommend to all Husbandmen, 

 how frugal foever they are, to plough up 

 and fow fifteen or fixteen Foot of Ground 

 round all their Enclofures^ for this will not 

 only be a great Shelter to their Cattle, but 

 likewifeto their Corn and Grafs, (efpecially 

 if it be on bleak cold Grounds) befides the 

 extreme Beauty which Wood adds to thofe 



enclos d.
