IF yon have plenty of fpawn this is a 
good method to have a forward and plentiful 
crop, as the fpawn may be laid pretty clofc 
all over the furface, and earthed over, two 
inches thick, as follows. 
Begin the (pawning along the bottom firff, 
as in the other method, quite down at 
the lower edge of the bed ; placing the pieces 
of fpawn flat-ways upon the furface of the 
dung, befide one another, either clofer or wider 
afunder, according to the plenty, proceed- 
ing with a regular layer all along, a foot wide, 
up the fide of the bed, earthing this over 
two inches ; then another layer of fpawn 
higher up the bed, and earth it as the other, 
and fo on till finifhed, laying the fmall 
crumbs of fpawn remaining at lafl: upon the 
top of the bed, earthing it over as before di- 
refted.
