They who are not provided with long 

 dung, may ufe the fcrapings up of leaves, 

 fern, peafc-haulm, ire. but take care of 

 mice. 



For the covering or fecurity of peafe, 

 if the ground be heavy, fand them up 

 to the very top, but not fo as to cover 

 them quite, then lay a little mofs, which 

 will be a very foft covering for them, and 

 there will a proper quantity of air per- 

 fpire thro', fuch as will keep them green, 

 and not fuffer them to grow yellow j af- 

 ter that, if the feafon be hard, you may 

 lay on wheat ftraw or fern which you 

 pleafe, for the mofs will preferve the 

 heads of the peafe from bruifing. 



Beans may be preferv'd the fame way, 

 but the coverings of ftraw fliould be laid 

 by in fun-fliiny warm weather 3 and it is 

 Well for peafe and beans both to be fown 

 on the fide of grounds that are trenclVd 

 into ridges, becaufe the ridge being on 

 the back of it keeps off the Eaftern and 

 Northern catting winds.
