 cold winds that blow from thofe quarters, 

 which often bends them and makes them 

 grow crooked.

 on the trees. The oats fhould be cut 

 high to prevent the feedling-plants from 

 being topt ; and the long ftubble will 

 keep the trees warm all the winter. The 

 oats mould be carried off the field by men
