that_o if_o you_o plant_v boggy_a land_n with_o willow_n and_o sallow_a and_o such_o like_a aquaticks_n drain_n it_o first_o well_o and_o deep_a it_o will_v be_v worth_a 5_o pound_v a_o acre_n

improve_v ground_n not_o worth_a 6_v a_o acre_n to_o six_o pound_n by_o plant_v in_o their_o hedge_n row_v fruit_n tree_n about_o 16_o 17_o or_o 20_o yard_n distant_a the_o more_o room_n the_o better_a from_o one_o another_o and_o one_o sort_n of_o fruit_n or_o other_o will_v prosper_v on_o any_o ground_n and_o if_o you_o plant_v 160_o tree_n of_o the_o best_a pipin_n and_o red-streak_n on_o a_o acre_n it_o may_v reasonable_o be_v suppose_v that_o one_o with_o another_o they_o will_v yield_v 320_o bushel_n and_o 20_o bushel_n of_o apple_n usual_o make_v a_o hogshead_n so_o that_o

the_o 8_o hogshead_n will_v yield_v 16_o pound_n but_o this_o cider_n royal_a may_v be_v worth_a 9d_o per_fw-la quartfield_n and_o then_o a_o acre_n will_v amount_v to_o near_o 40_o pound_n per_fw-la
