a_o rick_n of_o corn_n upon_o it_o which_o may_v be_v keep_v three_o or_o four_o year_n without_o loss_n or_o trouble_n if_o when_o winter_n be_v past_a corn_n be_v very_o cheap_a then_o will_v i_o

and_o to_o make_v it_o up_o again_o with_o a_o leer_n of_o thrash_v corn_n with_o chaff_n and_o all_o together_o by_o which_o mean_v he_o may_v lay_v up_o a_o wonderful_a great_a quantity_n in_o a_o little_a room_n and_o have_v his_o straw_n for_o his_o present_a use_n and_o withal_o the_o poor_a sort_n of_o farmer_n may_v have_v a_o better_a sale_n for_o their_o corn_n to_o pay_v their_o rent_n withal_o and_o as_o for_o city_n and_o corporate_a town_n i_o will_v have_v all_o householder_n of_o good_a ability_n to_o keep_v a_o year_n provision_n of_o corn_n before_o hand_n and_o not_o to_o spend_v it_o till_o time_n of_o dearth_n by_o which_o mean_v the_o dearth_n will_v not_o be_v so_o grievous_a when_o it_o come_v and_o also_o the_o cheapness_n in_o time_n of_o plenty_n will_v not_o

and_o if_o it_o heat_v not_o it_o can_v corrupt_v as_o for_o malt_n it_o will_v keep_v two_o or_o three_o year_n upon_o a_o great_a heap_n without_o stir_v or_o trouble_n if_o it_o be_v well_o dry_v at_o the_o first_o and_o if_o the_o price_n expect_v come_v not_o soon_o enough_o it_o be_v good_a to_o change_v this_o old_a store_n sometime_o and_o to_o lay_v up_o new_a in_o the_o room_n and_o never_o to_o diminish_v the_o stock_n till_o it_o will_v yield_v double_a price_n at_o least_o i_o have_v know_v barley_n at_o six_o penny_n the_o bushel_n in_o northampton_n market_n and_o at_o

a_o improvement_n also_o certain_a way_n for_o the_o melioration_n of_o seed_n and_o fruit_n it_o be_v find_v by_o experience_n that_o if_o seed-wheat_n be_v bring_v from_o barren_a and_o stony_a

than_o that_o which_o grow_v upon_o very_o rich_a land_n and_o therefore_o have_v more_o force_n to_o increase_v second_o the_o corn_n that_o growth_n upon_o stony_a land_n have_v attract_v

wherein_o the_o like_a stuff_n have_v be_v boil_a which_o grow_v in_o ground_n more_o barren_a whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o extreme_a fat_a of_o ground_n with_o dung_n do_v in_o some_o sort_n
