APPENDIX. 
OF DRAINING, &c. 
I have in general observed, with very few ex¬ 
ceptions, that Coffee affects a surface somewhat on 
a slope, in preference to a bottom or level; and 
that, even where there is not apparent extra-mois¬ 
ture in the soil. It Certainly very ill accords with 
a surface any ways inclining to a swamp. Yet 
there are instances of veins of springy lands, where 
the surface one would suppose to be not so much 
of a flat as to retain a sufficient moisture to injure 
that plant.—It is, however, frequently the case ; 
and proper precautions must, in such cases, be re¬ 
sorted to. 
The piece of land on which I essayed the mode 
here exemplified lies at the foot of a hill of a mode¬ 
rate sloye, and has itself some descent. The mode 
I took*was suggested partly by necessity, not 
having then the strength I possess at present :— 
but, was I to perform the same operation at present, 
I would notwithstanding follow the same method, 
for reasons which I shall here alledge.
