302 Boys's Treatise, p. vjf;. It is on this principle that clay burned in kilns, 

 is considered a superior manure to clay reduced to ashes. 



303 This is frequently done in the fens, but the ashes are not thought so 

 good, and in fact it can only be done when the turf is very grassy, and cut 

 thin. It is considered, however, more useful than the condensed mode. 



504 Middlesex Report, p. 370. 



305 The effect of heat, in the operation of paring and burning, is remark- 

 able. Wherever burning has been much practised, experience has demon- 

 strated the necessity of removing all the ashes where the fires were made ; and 

 though careful farmers remove some of the unburnt earth, still these spots 

 manifest a deeper green in the crop, than is observable in any other part of the 

 field. The general warmth diffused may probably have a greater effect than 

 is commonly suspected. Young's Essay on Manures, p. 131. 



306 In some parts of Devonshire, the soil is so tender, that it can be breast- 

 ploughed fc-r 9s. per acre, and the burning and spreading the ashes cost only 

 6s. 6d. more. Devon Report, p. 151. Such lauds ought never to be burnt, 

 unless the grass be very old.

520 On moist-bottomed lands, rape will often succeed better than tur-
