NOV.] PRUNING AND THINNING. 529 



Yet, circumftances may occur to induce the plant- 

 ing of grounds not previously determined upon. 

 It is now too late to think of preparing grounds, 

 at prefent in old grafs, by the plough, for fpring 

 planting. Such, however, as have been under 

 grain the lad feafon, may now receive a furrow, 

 to prepare them for fpring planting. 



Such grounds as are to be pitted, mud be at- 

 tended to with much care. If the fward be pared 

 off, and buried in the bottom of the pits, efpe- 

 cially if of a coarfe nature, it will lye unreduced, 

 and will rather prove a lofs, than an advantage^ 

 in the fpring. It will therefore, in general, be 

 better to difcard the fward entirely when pitting 

 at this late feafon. The foil muft be managed in 

 other refpeds according to its nature, as ftated at 

 large, in May, under this article (p. 388, etseg.*) $ 

 which fee. 



PRUNING AND THINNING. 



In all cafes where the operations of pruning 

 and thinning plantations and forefts are not com- 

 pleted, they are (till to be carried on, as recom- 

 mended in the preceding months. Continue the 

 felling of grown timber, as noticed laft month.
