of_o his_o own_o ground_n if_o it_o be_v exceed_v rank_n four_o or_o five_o inch_n distance_n but_o most_o common_o three_o or_o four_o inch_n be_v likely_a to_o be_v most_o fit_a and_o two_o or_o three_o inch_n deep_a as_o the_o ground_n be_v heavy_a or_o light_a and_o peradventure_o the_o clod_n may_v sometime_o hinder_v for_o which_o purpose_n this_o board_n and_o this_o handle_n or_o two_o be_v very_o fit_a to_o thrust_v down_o the_o clod_n these_o board_n be_v to_o be_v direct_v by_o a_o line_n to_o keep_v a_o straight_a course_n in_o set_v have_v always_o a_o rake_n with_o thick_a tooth_n and_o a_o broad_a head_n which_o at_o one_o pull_n will_v sufficient_o fill_v all_o the_o hole_n and_o for_o example_n to_o such_o as_o be_v very_o simple_a it_o be_v think_v good_a to_o set_v down_o the_o order_n of_o make_v of_o the_o hole_n in_o every_o board_n as_o the_o same_o hole_n shall_v be_v of_o distance_n more_o or_o less_o as_o if_o your_o board_n be_v ten_o inch_n broad_a and_o three_o foot_n long_o and_o your_o hole_n five_o inch_n distance_n there_o must_v be_v two_o row_n of_o hole_n and_o feven_a hole_n in_o a_o row_n and_o at_o every_o end_n and_o fide_fw-la
