As to many other particulars, I fliall not 

 vary overmuch in fubftance from fome other 

 modern writers ; namely, as to the prepara- 

 tion of the land, and the propereft manner 

 of planting the acorns and hafel nuts ^ let 

 the ground thereto intended, be fallowed 

 in like manner as for wheat, or beans, and 

 fometime in Odlober following, let the fame

 Likewife let many more than a bare fuffi- 

 cient number of acorns be gathered from fall 

 timbers, rather than pollards, in their due 

 feafon, and inftantly put into fand, Jlratuni 

 fuper Jiratum^ where mice cannot come at 

 them ; in order that the beft may be culPd 

 out for fetting, at the time I fhall mention.
