In the article manure, I fuppofe the 

 waggon and four horfes to be employed the 

 year through In bringing it. This manure, 

 confifting of aihes, dung, &c. to be laid 

 upon the ditch-earth in the proportion of 

 one third dung to two thirds earth : this 

 is afterwards to be turned over twice, and 

 then carried on to the land. 



The allowance of bufhes for the hedges 

 is abfolutely requifite; for, in fo large an 

 extent of ditching, there muft be fome that 

 will not afford buflies enough for their own 

 dead hedge ; and as it is ever advifeable to 

 make the hedge when the ditch is dug, for 

 the fake of repairing or heightening the 

 bank, bufhes mufl be fuppofed wanting : 

 30 /. is the loweft I could reckon for this 

 article. 



The materials for filling up the drains, I 

 fuppofe carted by the feller : They are fo 

 various, that I thought to calculate them up 

 fo much a perch, would be the furefl and 

 leafl complex method. Where (tones are 

 extremely plentiful, they v/ill be the cheaper. 

 In other places, wood, bricks, horns, broom, 

 ling, &c. &c. &c. The dimenfions of the 

 drain I fuppofe 32 inches deep, 4 inches 



wide
