hill, which a judicious hufbandman was fetting 

 about for turneps, covered with afhes, I

 muck being pretty long when it was turned

 in the way of the harrow, and would have 

 kept his light land too hollow ; he therefore 

 fct it on fire. A new idea; and, in this in- 

 fiance, well applied.
