Some years ago I tried an experiment on 

 land intended for grafs, by burn-baking with- 

 out ploughing it: but it did not anfwer, pro- 

 bably from the foil's not being pulverifcd and 

 mixed. 



Land once fertilized by burn-baking may 

 ever after be kept in good condition, by return- 

 ing upon it the manure arifing from the luxuri- 

 ant crops. 



As the pradice of burn-baking is new jn 

 niany parts, it may not be amifs to make a cal- 

 culation of theexpence and profit from one acre.
