take it out at his own will and pleasure or to sell transfer or assign any part of the said Corn to any Person or Persons for the payment of his Debts or to furnish himself with Clothing or other Necessaries from the Merchant and the Granary-keepers to give good security that all things should be faithfully done discharged Now the Corn being brought into the publick Granary and there registred in the Register-Book to be kept for that purpose and the Person that hath put in the said Corn taking a Note under hand and seal from the Granary-Register of the quantity of Corn brought into the Granary with the time it was delivered and the matter and kind of the Corn then these Advantages will ensue First Preservation from the Rats and Mice Straw to supply his Cattel the Chaff for his Horses and the light Corn to feed his Pigs and Poultry his Husbandry mannaged with rule and order to his advantage no forc'd haste but thrashing and carrying the Corn to the Granary in times wherein his servants have leisure so in seeding time harvest all People are freed from that Besides there being at all times sufficient quantities of Corn in the Granaries to load Ships Merchants from Barbadoes and other places will come to buy Corn of one Farmer he may buy one hundred Bushels of another fifty and so he may buy the Corn that belongs to sixty or eighty Farmers and receive their Notes which they had from the Granary-Office which Corn he letteth lie in the Granary until he have occasion to use it then he orders his Baker to go with those notes to the Granary-Office and receive such quantities as he hath a mind shall be made into Flower and Bisket which the Baker does accordingly and gets it packt up in Casks and sent to Barbadoes the remainder if he please he may full to some other Merchant that lives at Barbadoes or some other place and when sold may deliver the said Merchant the Notes on the Granary-Office at sight whereof they may receive their Corn if they please or they may pass those Notes from one to another as often as they please which is all one as Money the Corn being lodged safe and kept in the publick Granary will be the occasion of imploying much of the Cash of Pennsilvania and New-Jersey most People near these publick Bank Granaries will be dealing to have some Corn in Bank-Credit for that cannot miss of finding an encrease and benefit to them in the rise of Corn. The best places at present for the building of Granaries are I suppose Burlington in West-Jersey Philadelphia and New-Castle in Pennsilvania and New Perth in East-Jersey which places are excellently situated there being many Navigable Rivers whereby Trade is very communicable and the Corn may be brought in Boats and Sloops from most places now inhabited by water to these publick Granaries for small charge and from the Granaries may be carried to Water-Mills to grind which are some of them so conveniently situated that Boats may come to the Mill-Tayl which is also a great conveniency to those that trade much in Corn. Now I will demonstrate and shew you the length breadth and heighth the Granaries ought to be of to hold this Corn as also the Charge of building one of them and the way how it should be built for the best advantage with the way of ordering and managing the Corn that it may keep good sweet and clean eight or ten Years The Granaries must be three hundred Foot long eighten Foot wide betwixt inside and inside seven Stories high each Story seven Foot high all to be built of good well burnt Brick and laid in Lime and Sand very well the ends of the Granaries must be set North and South so the sides will be East and West and in the sides of the Granaries there must be large Windows to open and shut close that when the Wind blows at West the Windows may be laid open and then the Granary man will be turning and winding the Corn and all Filth and Dross will be blown out at the Window When the Weather is fair then throw open the VVindows to let in the Air to the Corn and in the middle there must be Stoves to be kept with Fire in them in all moist or wet times or at going away of great Frosts and Snows to prevent moistness either in the Brick-walls Timber Boards or Corn. There must be in each side of the Granaries three or four long Troughs or Spouts fixt in the uppermost Loft which must run about twenty Foot out of the Granary and in fine VVeather the Granary men must be throwing the Corn out of the uppermost Loft and so it will fall into another Spout made ten Foot wide at the top and through that Spout the Corn descends into the lowermost Loft and then wound up on the inside of the Granary by a Crane fixt for that purpose and the Corn receiving the benefit of the Air falling down thirty Foot before it comes into the second Spout cleanseth it from its filth and Chaff these Spouts are to be taken off and on as occasion requires and to be fixt to another of the Lofts that when Vessels come to load Corn they may through these Spouts convey the Corn into the Boats or Sloops without any thing of Labour by carrying it on the Backs of men The charge of one Granary three Hundred Foot long eighteen Foot wide seven Stories high seven Foot betwixt each Story being built with Brick in England as by the Account of Andrew Yarenton take as followeth Six hundred thousand of Bricks builds a Granary two Bricks and a half thick the two first Stories two Bricks thick the three next Stories Brick and a half thick the two uppermost Stories and the Brick will be made and delivered on the Place for eight Shillings the Thousand the laying of Brick three Shillings the Thousand Lime and Sand two Shillings the Thousand so Brick-laying Lime and Sand will be thirteen Shillings the Thousand one hundred and fifty Tuns of Oak for Summers-Joists and Roof 170 l. Boards for the six Stories sixty thousand Foot at 13 s. 4 d. The one hundred Foot and ten thousand Foot for Window-Doors and Spouts at the same rate 48 l. Laths and Tiles 100 l. Carpenters work 70 l. Iron Nails and odd things 60 l. So the charge of a Granary will be 800 l. There will be kept in this Granary fourteen thousand Quarters of Corn which is two thousand Quarters in every Loft which will be a thousand Bushels in every Bay six labouring men with one Clerk will be sufficient to manage this Granary to turn and wind the Corn and keep the Books of Accounts fifteen pounds a piece allowed to the six men and thirty pound a year to the Clark or Register will be Wages sufficient so the Servants Wages will be 120 l. per annum allow ten in the hundred for Monies laid out

Good Order Established IN Pennsilvania New-Jersey IN AMERICA Being a true Account of the Country With its Produce and Commodities there made And the great Improvements that may be made by means of Publick Store-houses for Hemp flax and Linnen-Cloth also the Advantages of a Publick-School the Profits of a Publick-Bank and the Probability of its arising if those directions here laid down are followed With the advantages of publick Granaries Likewise several other things needful to be understood by those that are or do intend to be concerned in planting in the said Countries All which is laid down very plain in this small Treatife it being easie to be understood by any ordinary Capacity To which the Reader is referred for his further satisfaction By Thomas Budd Printed in the Year 1685. Those that have generous Spirits whose desires and Endeavours are to bring the Creation into Order do I dedicate This the first Fruits of my Endeavours I Taking into consideration the destressed Condition that many thousand Families lie under in my Native Country by reason of the deadness of Trade and want of work and believing that many that have great store of Money that lies by them unimploy'd would be willing and ready to assist and encourage those poor distressed People by supplying them with Monies in order to bring them out of that Slavery and Poverty they groan under if they might do it with safety to themselves These Considerations put me on writing this small Treatise wherein I hope the Reader will have full Satisfaction that the Rich may help to relieve the Poor and yet reap great Profit and Advantage to themselves by their so doing which if it so happen that Rich and Poor are benefitted by following the Advice here given then will be answered the hearty Desires of Your True and Well-wishing Friend THOMAS BUDD It is to be noted that the Government of these Countries is so settled by Concessions and such care taken by the establishment of certain fundamental Laws by which every Man's Liberty and Property both as Men and Christians are preserved so that none shall be hurt in his Person Estate or Liberty for his Religious Perswasion or Practice in Worship towards God PEnnsylvania and New-Jersy in America lieth in about forty forty two Degrees of North Latitude and is severed the one from the other by the River of Delaware on the West and seperated from New-York Collony by Sandy-hoock-Bay and part of Hudsons River on the East The dayes in the Winter are about two hours longer and in the Summer two hours shorter than in England the Summer somewhat hotter which causeth the Fruits and Corn somewhat to ripen faster than in England and the Harvest for Wheat Rye and Barley being about the latter end of June In the Winter season it is cold and freezing Weather and sometimes Snow but commonly very clear and Sun-shine which soon dissolves it The Country is well Watered the River of Delaware being navigable for Ships of great burthen to Burlington which from the Capes or entrance is accounted an hundred and forty Miles and for Sloops to the Falls which is about ten Miles farther The Bay of Sandy-hoock on East-Jersy is a safe and excellent Harbour for any Fleet of Ships which can lie there in all Weathers and go in and out to Sea in Winter as well as Summer and Ships of great Burthen can lie close to the Town of New-Perth which renders it a good Scituation for Navigation from whence in six Hours time at most Ships can go out into the Sea and close by the Town of Perth runs up Rariton River From the Falls of Delaware River the Indians go in Cannows up the said River to an Indian Town called Minisincks which is accounted from the Falls about eighty Miles but this they perform by great Labour in setting up against the Stream but they can come down with ease and speed the River from the Falls runs from the North and North-West about twenty Miles as I my self observed in my Travel so far by the River but by the Indians Information it cometh about more Easterly farther up I have been informed that about Minisincks by the River-side both in New-Jersey and Pennsylvania is great quantities of exceeding rich open Land which is occasioned by washing down of the Leaves and Soil in great Rains from the Mountains which Land is exceeding good for the raising of Hem and Flax Wheat or any other sorts of Corn Fruits Roots c. Where in time may be conveniently settled a Manufacture for the making of Linnen-cloth Cordage Twine Sacking Fishing-Nets and all other Commodities commonly made of Hemp or Flax And after great Rains we may bring down great quantities of Goods in flat-bottom-Boats built for that purpose which will then come down by reason of the Land-floods with speed And into this River betwixt the Capes and the Falls run many navigable Rivers and Cricks some of them fifteen or twenty Miles and others less which Rivers and Cricks are made by the plenty of Springs and Brooks that run out of the Country many of which Brooks are so considerable as to be fit to drive Mills And above the falls in travelling of twenty Miles by the Rivers side I went over twenty runnings of Water five or six of them being fit to build Mills on The Country for the most part is pretty leavel until we come about ten Miles above the Falls where it is Mountanious for many Miles but interlaced with fertile Valleys The Bay and River of Delaware and the Rivers and Cricks that runs into it are plentifully stored with various sorts of good Fish and Water-Fowl as Swans Geese Ducks Wigeons c. And a considerable Whale-Fishery may be carried on in the Bay of Delaware and on the Sea-Coasts of New Jersey there being Whale Fisheries already begun plenty of Whales being by experience found there and the Winter-time being the time for the catching them they will not thereby be hindred of raising there Summer-Crops and the Oyl and Bone being good Commodities to be sent for England there also being in the Bay of Delaware and Sandy-hoock Drums Sheeps-heads Bass and other sorts of large Fish which may be fit to salt up in Casks to keep for use and Transportation also There are great plenty of Oysters which may be pickled and put up in small Casks for use Likewise in Delaware River are great plenty of Sturgion which doubtless might be a good Trade if mannaged by such Persons as are skilful in the boyling and pickling of them so as to preserve them good to Barbadoes and other adjacent Islands There are also in the Spring great quantities of a sort of Fish like Herrings with plenty of the Fish called Shads but not like the Shads in England but of another kind being a much better sort of Fish the Inhabitants usually catch quantities which they salt up and pack them in Barrels for Winter's Provision The Lands from
