A36288	Husbandry anatomized, or, An enquiry into the present manner of teiling and manuring the ground in Scotland for most part and several rules and measures laid down for the better improvement thereof, in so much that one third part more increase may be had, and yet more than a third part of the expence of the present way of labouring thereof saved / by Ja.

as_o much_o improven_v as_o themselves_o my_o reason_n for_o it_o be_v this_o when_o other_o beast_n be_v fat_a and_o in_o a_o good_a condition_n their_o hair_n be_v u●sibly_o much_o soft_a and_o smooth_a look_v but_o to_o any_o horse_n that_o be_v well_o feed_v and_o keep_v and_o to_o a_o labour_a horse_n that_o be_v sore_o wrought_v and_o ill_o feed_v and_o you_o will_v see_v what_o difference_n be_v betwixt_o they_o and_o so_o of_o all_o other_o beast_n and_o see_v wool_n be_v the_o hair_n that_o grow_v on_o this_o animal_n why_o shall_v it_o not_o improve_v as_o much_o as_o that_o of_o other_o i_o doubt_v nothing_o if_o sheep_n be_v feed_v as_o plentiful_o in_o this_o country_n as_o easy_o they_o may_v be_v as_o be_v show_v above_o but_o their_o wool_n may_v be_v make_v as_o good_a as_o ready_o be_v have_v any_o where_o else_o now_o let_v we_o see_v what_o may_v be_v yearly_o make_v of_o those_o 2500_o sheep_n you_o know_v 1000_o lamb_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v

suppose_v at_o 5_o pound_n a_o piece_n betwixt_o candlemas_n and_o may_n be_v 200_o pound_n proportionable_a to_o their_o number_n their_o wool_n may_v also_o be_v reckon_v more_o in_o quantity_n

hundred_o and_o fifty_o sheep_n and_o lamb_n may_v not_o only_o have_v as_o many_o pound_n of_o wool_n but_o even_o one_o quarter_n of_o a_o pound_n a_o piece_n more_o which_o make_v in_o all_o four_o

about_o the_o border_n of_o your_o field_n fruit-trees_a may_v as_o easy_o be_v bring_v up_o as_o those_o which_o be_v barren_a only_o they_o need_v to_o be_v ingraff_v which_o be_v do_v thus_o when_o

that_o it_o may_v receive_v the_o graff_n your_o graff_n must_v be_v twig_n of_o the_o handsome_a fruit-tree_n you_o can_v get_v of_o one_o year_n growth_n only_o let_v a_o inch_n and_o a_o half_a

i●_n it_o be_v long_o the_o length_n thereof_o ought_v not_o to_o exceed_v six_o inch_n as_o to_o the_o manner_n of_o plant_v your_o fruit-tree_n observe_v to_o plant_v they_o at_o thirty_o foot_n

you_o intend_v to_o plant_v every_o tree_n and_o if_o you_o put_v not_o dung_n in_o the_o bottom_n thereof_o you_o must_v at_o least_o fill_v it_o with_o good_a earth_n some_o put_v coal_n under_o their_o tree_n and_o then_o plant_v your_o tree_n when_o it_o be_v fill_v up_o so_o far_o that_o your_o tree_n have_v little_a enough_o deepth_n to_o root_v in_o than_o set_v your_o tree_n upon_o
