 require. 



WATER-WORKES. 



water the grounds in the Summer-time. 

 Having drownd with clear e 'water a par- 

 cell of ground, it being satisfied and for- 

 saken, I furnish the rest of my Trenches 

 with that water, untill a Meade of thirty 

 or fortye Acres bee sufficiently seasoned. 

 You must know, you cannot drowne so 

 many Acres, not having the advantage of 

 these many Trenches and Lists, unlesse your 

 ground bee ^jlatt-bottom; having a stoute 

 and strong water with-all. My double and 

 treble-trenches, require a parcell of plaine 

 ground containing fortye Acres or more. 

 At your turning-water in, it will hardlye 

 dispeirce over the whole ; the weakenesse 

 thereof is such in Summer-season if it bee 

 not holpe and assisted with Summer-lysts, 

 that runne the length of the land you 

 labour in. You may raise the Liste in this 

 manner ; In the middest of the Meade, 

 in place of best advantage, force a couple 

 of Furrowes of each side with your Plowe, 

 encountring each other ; cleanse those 

 Furrowes, and place the earth above : by 

 this meanes your List falls out to be a 

 foote-path, when both sides of your ground 

 are drownde, Summer and Winter.
