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. Donaldson.	Donaldson, James, fl. 1697-1713.	1697 (1697)	Wing D1853; ESTC R10333	43,543	168

be_v rather_o to_o remove_v the_o malady_n than_o inquire_v any_o far_a after_o the_o cause_n i_o shall_v therefore_o proceed_v to_o lay_v down_o several_a rule_n whereby_o to_o bring_v each_o of_o these_o different_a kind_n of_o ground_n to_o such_o a_o temperature_n as_o it_o may_v be_v in_o a_o condition_n to_o nourish_v any_o plant_n or_o seed_n therein_o sow_v or_o plant_v which_o be_v do_v by_o remove_v the_o superfluity_n of_o that_o quality_n that_o prevail_v and_o strengthen_v of_o that_o which_o be_v weak_a for_o as_o in_o humane_a body_n there_o be_v a_o composition_n of_o the_o four_o element_n and_o through_o the_o superfluity_n or_o deficiency_n of_o any_o one_o or_o more_o of_o they_o disease_n be_v contract_v and_o foment_v so_o in_o the_o earth_n there_o be_v the_o like_a composition_n of_o quality_n and_o so_o far_o as_o heat_n moist_a cold_a or_o dryness_n exceed_v the_o bound_n of_o a_o moderate_a temperatur_fw-la so_o far_o be_v she_o disease_a and_o render_v unfruitful_a i_o know_v some_o assert_v the_o salt_n or_o hot_a quality_n that_o be_v in_o the_o earth_n be_v the_o only_a cause_n of_o growth_n of_o vigitable_n and_o consequent_o barrenness_n to_o be_v only_o for_o want_v of_o this_o quality_n i_o confess_v where_o this_o quality_n be_v want_v altogether_o barrenness_n can_v but_o ensue_v and_o also_o that_o this_o quality_n be_v that_o which_o be_v most_o frequent_o deficient_a in_o our_o cold_a climate_n and_o moreover_o tho'_o it_o be_v strengthen_v or_o assist_v yet_o by_o teiling_n and_o manure_v of_o the_o earth_n it_o be_v extract_v forth_o into_o the_o substance_n of_o grain_n and_o other_o vigitable_n and_o so_o need_v frequent_o to_o be_v renew_v notwithstanding_o of_o all_o which_o with_o submission_n to_o man_n of_o great_a judgement_n i_o be_o of_o opinion_n there_o may_v be_v abundance_n of_o this_o hot_a or_o salt_n quality_n where_o there_o be_v as_o much_o barrenness_n as_o any_o where_o else_o but_o that_o i_o may_v confirm_v this_o assertion_n i_o say_v i_o have_v see_v a_o field_n fatten_v sufficient_o with_o dung_n yet_o by_o reason_n of_o great_a drowght_fw-mi it_o have_v yield_v small_a increase_n yea_o scarce_o one_o three_o of_o what_o it_o have_v do_v at_o other_o time_n the_o cause_n sure_o be_v not_o for_o want_v of_o this_o hot_a or_o salt_n quality_n but_o allanerly_a for_o want_v of_o moist_a again_o i_o have_v see_v a_o field_n that_o want_v not_o ●nough_o of_o this_o hot_a quality_n &_o by_o excessive_a rain_n after_o it_o have_v be_v tile_v and_o sow_v with_o good_a grain_n have_v produce_v little_a else_o but_o weed_n and_o thristles_n for_o that_o season_n also_o i_o have_v see_v strong_a clay_n ground_n where_o the_o clod_n remain_v firm_a and_o unbroken_a do_v not_o produce_v so_o much_o by_o far_o for_o that_o season_n as_o at_o other_o time_n when_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o frost_n in_o the_o winter_n the_o clod_n have_v easy_o moulder_a to_o piece_n notwithstanding_o it_o be_v otherways_o in_o no_o better_a condition_n which_o make_v i_o believe_v the_o want_n of_o air_n though_o there_o be_v a_o moderate_a temperature_n of_o the_o other_o quality_n hinder_v the_o growth_n of_o vigitable_n for_o though_o it_o want_v not_o air_n in_o the_o stalk_n which_o be_v above_o ground_n yet_o in_o this_o confirm_a earth_n the_o air_n can_v have_v free_a access_n to_o th●_n root_n another_o thing_n which_o confirm_v i_o in_o this_o opinion_n be_v where_o tree_n grow_v close_o or_o near_o the_o bottom_n of_o hedge_n little_a or_o nothing_o do_v grow_v morover_n i_o have_v see_v in_o the_o bottom_n of_o a_o dung_n hill_n plew_v and_o sow_v though_o round_o about_o the_o border_n thereof_o the_o corn_n have_v be_v extraordiner_n strong_a and_o good_a yet_o where_o most_o of_o the_o strength_n of_o dung_n do_v remain_v little_a or_o nothing_o do_v grow_v which_o say_v the_o excess_n of_o this_o hot_a quality_n though_o there_o be_v a_o moderate_a temperature_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n do_v hinder_v fruitfulness_n i_o observe_v former_o that_o within_o the_o bound_n of_o a_o mile_n of_o ground_n in_o some_o place_n there_o may_v be_v see_v field_n in_o equal_a circumstance_n as_o to_o the_o manner_n of_o situation_n and_o yet_o differ_v in_o other_o circumstance_n very_o much_o for_o which_o i_o can_v understand_v no_o cause_n save_o the_o primative_a constitution_n but_o for_o valys_n be_v general_o more_o fertile_a than_o hill_n i_o humble_o conceive_v one_o or_o all_o of_o these_o reason_n may_v be_v give_v first_o the_o internal_a heat_n of_o the_o earth_n warm_v the_o air_n next_o unto_o it_o and_o in_o respect_n the_o hill_n be_v far_o extend_v from_o the_o centre_n than_o the_o valys_n and_o b●ing_v so_o much_o high_a where_o the_o air_n be_v more_o pure_a and_o less_o warm_v by_o this_o internal_a heat_n they_o be_v so_o much_o cold_a and_o consequent_o more_o unfruitful_a or_o second_o if_o it_o be_v say_v it_o be_v not_o the_o internal_a heat_n of_o the_o earth_n that_o warm_v the_o air_n but_o rather_o the_o reflex_n heat_n of_o the_o sun_n beam_n it_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n upon_o the_o matter_n for_o whither_o the_o heat_n be_v from_o the_o earth_n itself_o or_o the_o sun_n heat_n recoil_v still_o the_o valys_n have_v the_o advantage_n of_o the_o mountain_n in_o respect_n the_o air_n that_o be_v low_a receive_v the_o great_a share_n thereof_o 3._o so_o much_o as_o the_o hill_n be_v high_a than_o the_o valys_n they_o lie_v the_o more_o open_a to_o the_o air_n which_o have_v a_o quick_a motion_n the_o high_a it_o be_v and_o air_n move_v be_v much_o cold_a than_o when_o it_o be_v not_o move_v whither_o it_o be_v in_o that_o it_o be_v warm_v by_o thing_n nixt_v to_o it_o when_o it_o stand_v still_o and_o when_o it_o be_v move_v fresh_a air_n still_o approach_v which_o have_v not_o be_v warm_v be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o one_o be_v warm_a than_o the_o other_o i_o shall_v not_o determine_v but_o the_o matter_n of_o fact_n be_v beyond_o contraversy_n that_o the_o air_n move_v be_v much_o cold_a than_o when_o it_o be_v not_o move_v and_o valys_n be_v much_o shelter_v from_o the_o violence_n of_o storm_n be_v keep_v so_o much_o the_o warm_a and_o consequent_o be_v the_o more_o fertile_a moreover_o hill_n be_v steep_a the_o rain_n run_v present_o off_o so_o soon_o as_o it_o fall_v and_o do_v not_o only_o carry_v that_o salt_n or_o hot_a quality_n that_o be_v in_o itself_o away_o but_o if_o the_o ground_n be_v not_o well_o soard_v carry_v part_n of_o the_o earth_n also_o away_o with_o itself_o and_o on_o the_o contra●e_n valys_n lie_v near_o level_n rain_n can_v run_v sudden_o off_o but_o get_v time_n to_o soak_v or_o sink_v in_o the_o ground_n the_o salt_n quality_n remain_v still_o whereby_o the_o earth_n be_v much_o enrich_v by_o the_o above_o mention_v observation_n you_o may_v see_v it_o be_v heat_v principal_o that_o make_v the_o

therefore_o in_o the_o follow_a chapter_n give_v some_o direction_n how_o this_o may_v be_v perform_v which_o may_v be_v do_v two_o way_n first_o by_o assist_v the_o internal_a h●at_n next_o by_o

we_o after_o this_o search_n and_o enquiry_n into_o the_o nature_n and_o constitution_n of_o these_o different_a kind_n of_o ground_n above_o mention_v see_v next_o what_o measure_n be_v to_o be_v take_v to_o bring_v the_o same_o to_o a_o moderate_a temperature_n and_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o another_o case_n paul_n may_v plant_v and_o apollo_n may_v water_n but_o it_o be_v god_n that_o
