 method is to plow it up in winter, to fallow 

 it the fucceeding fummer, and lay ninety or 

 a hundred bufhels of lime per acre j they fow 

 rye upon it, and get fifty or fixty bufhels 

 per acre : Then a fecond crop of rye, of 

 thirty-five or forty bufhels : Next oats, of 

 which they have fixty or feventy bufhels; 

 with this crop fome throw in a few grafs 

 feeds, but the moft common method is to 

 leave it to turf itfelf. They pay no rent of 

 fuch land for the firft feven years, but 1 o s. 

 an acre afterwards, for twenty-one years, or 

 any other time. 



Some pare and burn, but the number
