out of theSea,it cofts 12 or 13 the Lighter (conteining fixfcore 
feime) at the landing Key,or Sand-place ; But where it is loaded 
from the dry beach after the ebb, it is not above 4 the Lighter § 
and all this charge of Lighterage is befides the land carriage. This 
land carriage I have computed to amount, in the whole County, to 
dS;:>out -^2000 Lfer a^mm. 
When this Sand is brought home^it is fpread on the ground in- 
tended for wheat, or ufually in the /r/? crof of 4, whatever be the 
grain. For after 4 crops 'tis our cuftom to leave our land to pafturc 
tor 6 or 7 years before we Till it again. And indeed the grafs will be 
fo good immediately after Tillage, that we commonly mow it the 
firll year. This is cali'd mowingof gYAtten. 
The Cornifh aker is 8 fcore yards of 1 8 foot to the y ard jin one of 
which akers good husbands beftow according to the nearnefs or di* 
ftancc. Near the Sand 500 facks(thac is horfe-feime or burthen:) 
Where men go 3 turn a day,about zoo.Wbere 2 turn3i5o. And where 
but I turn, 80 or 1 00. And fo proportionably in greater diftance, 
even to 20 or 3© facks inanaker, rather then none. 
The cfFeft is ufually,^ where much fand is ufed,the feed is muchy and 
the firm little. I have feen in fuch a place good Barley where the 
ear has been even equal in length with the ftalk it grew on : So that 
the faying [abufhelofccrntoafeckof firm'] is not altogether incredi- 
ble. But where lef Sand is ufed, there is much ftraw, and but little^ 
and tha:t hungry grain. 
After theGornis off, the grafs becomes moftly a vphite Clovery^ 
with hmepurple^if the land be deepen And thisgrafsof well fand- 
ed ground , though it be but jhorf^ yet as tofeedingy giving good 
plenty ofmilk, and all other good purpofes, n fox exceeds 
the longer grafs,where Icfs Sand is ufed.Yea garden herbs,and fruits, 
in thofe places, are more, and thofe better in their kind. In thofe 
well fanded places alfo little or no [mw lies :^ there is a continual 
mnter faring 5 an early harveji^(ji month or 6 weeks before what is 
within 6 or 7 miles of the place yea fuch a vaft difference of the 
<w> is found info little a diftance, that a man may in an afternoon 
Travel as it were out of Spain into the Orchades. 
Now for the benefits of Sand, found by long experience , the 
poor Country man is at a vaft charge and trouble for the procu- 
ring of it, as is before noted.
