set before one plough. Such an earth, for whose ploughing 

 up they laboured with three pairs of horses, we could at 

 all times in Sweden with the Westmanland plough, and 

 especially with Baron Brauner's, without doubt equally 

 well and finely plough up with one pair of horses, if not 

 with a single one. The Kentish plough has this peculiarity 

 that it ploughs deeper than most other ploughs. We saw 

 however, in some places to-day, fallow fields, which lay 

 quite well farmed and ploughed up, so that the earth was 

 friable and fine as the best new-made bed in a garden. 

 Beans were mostly sown in rows, and treated in the same 

 way as described above (T. II. p. 16 orig.) yet they were 

 also here and there sown, as with us, broad-cast. 



[T. II. p. 46.J Vagarna. The roads here were good 

 enough. Although the ground was chalk, and therefore 

 firm, yet they were not satisfied with that, but coarse 

 sand and small Pebblestones were everywhere carted on to 

 them, because Chalk in wet weather is slippery enough. 

 On both sides of the road there were mostly hedges, and 

 the road went, especially in hills, deep down in the 

 ground, even to eight or ten feet. There were no ditches 

 beside the road. 



Vaderqvarn. Windmills. Here and there on the 

 hills, appeared some Windmills, built in the usual way. 

 At Rochester was a Windmill which pumped up the 

 water for the use of the town. 



Vastanvind. The west wind strong in England. That 

 the west wind in this part of England must be one of the 

 longest lasting, and strongest winds appeared clearly 

 from this, that in the plantations, Tragardar, which 

 nevertheless, lay quite even, and not so especially facing 

 this wind, the trees bent over from the west, with the 

 upper part considerably over towards the east side, which 

 oblique and leaning growth was without doubt caused by 

 the aforesaid west wind.
