Drought. 
Again, it may be Set as well as Sown in Furrows, 
and for this purpoft the Roots nfiay be dug up in Sep- 
temher^ as well as the ripe Seed then gaihert d by this 
means the growth of it would be mightily advanced, for 
the older the Roots are, the ftronger and fuller ut Buds 
and Shoots they arc. 
I Sow'd the latter end of March the Seeds I had ga- 
thered in Septemhefy and had that Year a very great 
Encreale , the Bed being thick covered over with 
Grafs above Two Foot high, but it did not Flower that 
Year. 
I reckoned that One Pea had put forth that Year a- 
bove Thirty Shoots in Augufi ; in the Second Year it 
Floured by the middle of Jme^ and bore a wondeiful 
Crop, the Roots being innumerable. I have obferved 
this Pea very common in all the Mountains as well as 
Plains of England y wherever Bufties or Hedges 
are. 
Both the Pea and Grafs are very fweet,and very agree- 
able to Cattle, as I have tryed. 
I fliall fubjoin to this an Account of Claying a very 
light Sandy Soil, which hath been pradiied very many 
Years in fome parts of Torkjhire ; and although it be 
uftd only for Corn, yet it will as well ferve to the 
preparing the Soil for the afore- mentioned Pulfe-Mea- 
dow. For it is a great miftake to think, that naturally 
Barren Groond will never be otherwift, unlefs by fome 
fjrc of Manuring. 
Thefe Four Towns in the North Riding of Torkjhire^ 
ftanding upon a light Sandy Soil viz, tolkthorp^ toU

much of their Ground by Clay. This Ciay is dug
