ON WASTE LANDS. it 



falling into one cavity may intice vermin 

 to deftroy the whole, and many places 

 where none fall. The fmall quantity that 

 is dropped into each place is no great 

 temptation to vermin, and the regular 

 dropping prevents any being milled. 



I MUST here be understood asfpeaking 

 of fuch places where there is very little 

 earth, and of bare rocks where there ap-i 

 pears to be no earth, and where it feems 

 almoft impoflible for any thing to grow, 

 and where the fpade could be of no fer- 

 vice. But I am certain, if the directions 

 given are followed, a fine foretl will (uc- 

 ceed a barren mountain, which will be a 

 great pleafure to the prefent pofleflbr, a 

 profit to pofterity, and an advantage to the 

 kingdom in general. 



HAVING given directions for planting 

 the barren mountain where there is little 

 foil, I fhall now take into confideration 

 gravelly hills, heaths, and commons, where 

 there is fo much earth that little holes 

 may be made to plant and fow in.
