it_o both_o make_v it_o sow_v thick_a warm_v the_o pickle_n and_o preserve_v it_o from_o fowl_n and_o vermin_n but_o whether_o it_o preserve_v it_o against_o be_v black_v i_o have_v not_o yet_o find_v out_o neither_o i_o fear_v shall_v till_o it_o be_v certain_o know_v whether_o that_o misfortune_n fall_v upon_o the_o root_n or_o the_o ear._n i_o think_v it_o also_o a_o very_a good_a thing_n to_o moisten_v your_o barley_n before_o it_o be_v sow_v especial_o in_o dry_a season_n but_o not_o with_o salt-water_n bryme_n or_o lime_n for_o that_o the_o season_n of_o the_o year_n will_v not_o admit_v yet_o i_o do_v advise_v it_o where_o they_o sow_v winter_n barley_n change_v your_o seed_n often_o of_o all_o grain_n but_o especial_o of_o oat_n but_o remark_n that_o it_o do_v best_a from_o a_o worse_a ground_n to_o a_o better_a and_o from_o a_o cold_o to_o a_o hot_a let_v your_o seed_n corn_n be_v likewise_o well_o dight_v and_o the_o weak_a of_o the_o pickles_n take_v from_o it_o for_o the_o foulness_n and_o dirtiness_n of_o ground_n proceed_v from_o the_o one_o and_o the_o soon_o degenerate_v of_o the_o seed_n from_o the_o other_o as_o for_o your_o house_n such_o as_o have_v they_o already_o build_v must_v keep_v they_o as_o they_o be_v but_o for_o build_v of_o new_a one_o let_v all_o sit-house_n as_o they_o call_v they_o stand_v east_n and_o west_n their_o door_n and_o window_n to_o the_o south_n because_o they_o be_v warm_a their_o barn_n must_v stand_v north_n and_o south_n from_o the_o west_n end_n of_o their_o sit-house_n their_o door_n east_n and_o west_n because_o the_o wind_n blow_v most_o that_o way_n and_o they_o be_v best_a for_o winnow_v of_o corn_n if_o your_o farm_n be_v large_a i_o advise_v three_o barn_n one_o for_o wheat_n and_o barley_n one_o for_o oat_n and_o the_o three_o for_o pease_n thereby_o you_o will_v be_v able_a to_o feed_v your_o beast_n equal_o with_o any_o sort_n of_o straw_n that_o be_v most_o proper_a for_o they_o in_o its_o season_n their_o barn-yard_n to_o the_o west_n of_o their_o barn_n the_o best_a place_n for_o dry_v and_o win_v of_o corn_n in_o stack_n and_o if_o it_o be_v a_o colline_a rise_a ground_n so_o much_o the_o better_o their_o stable_a and_o byres_n from_o the_o south-end_n of_o their_o barn_n east_n and_o west_n their_o door_n to_o the_o north_n opposite_a to_o their_o sit-house_n for_o the_o conveniency_n both_o of_o hear_v and_o attend_v their_o beast_n and_o furnish_v they_o with_o straw_n from_o their_o barn_n their_o entry_n from_o the_o east_n because_o that_o seldom_o or_o never_o there_o blow_v a_o high_a wind_n from_o that_o airth_n and_o therefore_o your_o dunghill_n be_v least_o prejudge_v but_o be_v sure_a to_o have_v no_o entry_n but_o one_o to_o your_o closs_n for_o two_o entry_n blow_v away_o all_o your_o straw_n and_o the_o other_o manure_n and_o dry_v the_o dunghill_n too_o much_o if_o you_o build_v a_o house_n for_o chaff_n strae_fw-fr nait_fw-fr graith_n and_o such_o like_a thing_n build_v it_o on_o the_o east-side_n of_o your_o closs_n north_n and_o south_n so_o your_o closs_n will_v be_v the_o warm_a and_o your_o entry_n to_o your_o sit-house_n be_v betwixt_o the_o north_n gavil_v of_o your_o chaff-house_n and_o the_o east_n gavil_v of_o your_o sit-house_n may_v be_v cleanse_v and_o keep_v clean_o which_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o closs_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v build_v all_o the_o wall_n of_o your_o house_n with_o stone_n and_o lime_n for_o stone_n and_o clay_n be_v the_o destruction_n of_o all_o the_o rain_n moisten_v the_o clay_n the_o stone_n and_o timber_n slyde_v the_o wall_n fall_v the_o roof_n timber_n and_o all_o break_v and_o so_o both_o man_n and_o beast_n be_v in_o danger_n of_o their_o life_n cover_v your_o house_n with_o a_o few_o divot_n and_o plenty_n of_o straw_n which_o they_o call_v thatch_n and_o divot_n take_v notice_n and_o mind_n they_o yearly_o by_o sting_v they_o with_o straw_n alwise_o where_o they_o begin_v to_o fail_v but_o never_o add_v any_o more_o divot_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v great_a profit_n thereby_o for_o the_o frequent_a fall_n of_o house_n consume_v much_o time_n to_o the_o tennent_n beside_o the_o charge_n and_o loss_n of_o it_o therefore_o i_o advise_v you_o never_o to_o put_v cover_n upon_o cover_n otherwise_o you_o may_v be_v certain_a with_o the_o first_o great_a rain_n and_o frost_n in_o the_o winter_n season_n you_o will_v bring_v down_o the_o whole_a house_n about_o your_o ear_n although_o it_o be_v new_a and_o reasonable_o strong_a build_v plant_v round_o all_o your_o yard_n with_o ash_n &_o elm_n tree_n with_o which_o your_o master_n will_v furnish_v you_o and_o in_o time_n they_o will_v serve_v to_o keep_v up_o the_o whole_a instead_n of_o house_n &_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n the_o tennent_n shall_v have_v the_o cut_n of_o they_o as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o in_o the_o like_a case_n provide_v that_o he_o hain_n and_o preserve_v the_o old_a stock_n that_o they_o may_v grow_v again_o for_o your_o yard_n i_o do_v not_o mean_v your_o barn-yard_n but_o a_o piece_n of_o ground_n set_v apart_o for_o cabbage_n and_o other_o root_n let_v it_o alwise_o be_v at_o the_o north-side_n of_o your_o sit-house_n where_o you_o may_v have_v a_o little_a door_n to_o go_v in_o at_o by_o which_o it_o will_v be_v preserve_v from_o the_o summer_n scorch_a sun_n and_o southern_a wind_n the_o two_o great_a enemy_n to_o kitching_n ground_n design_v only_o for_o ordinar_n thing_n i_o think_v half_a a_o aiker_n of_o land_n be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o quantity_n unless_o where_o the_o farm_n be_v little_a the_o yard_n may_v be_v the_o less_o a_o good_a large_a grass_n yard_n be_v also_o very_o useful_a upon_o many_o occasion_n for_o the_o order_n of_o your_o yard_n i_o shall_v propose_v nothing_o but_o what_o be_v both_o profitable_a and_o easy_a in_o the_o first_o place_n then_o plant_v cabbage_n and_o summer_n kaill_n which_o be_v all_o that_o be_v necessary_a for_o herbage_n leek_n sybous_a and_o other_o curious_a herb_n not_o be_v for_o your_o handle_n for_o root_n i_o advise_v you_o only_o to_o sow_v potato_n and_o turnip_n a_o large_a or_o less_o quantity_n as_o you_o affect_v most_o but_o rather_o potatuss_n because_o be_v once_o plant_v they_o will_v never_o fail_v they_o require_v little_o more_o labour_n than_o to_o keep_v the_o ground_n where_o they_o grow_v free_a from_o grass_n the_o flandrian_a bower_n make_v so_o much_o of_o this_o root_n and_o have_v such_o pletnie_n thereof_o that_o both_o the_o confederate_a and_o french_a army_n find_v great_a support_n thereby_o by_o feed_v the_o common_a soldier_n most_o plenteous_o it_o be_v both_o delicious_a and_o wholesome_a for_o turnipe_n you_o must_v sow_v they_o about_o the_o middle_n of_o june_n and_o by_o hallowmass_n you_o will_v find_v they_o excellent_a provision_n for_o your_o family_n take_v they_o up_o before_o the_o frost_n come_v on_o and_o hang_v they_o up_o on_o the_o roof_n of_o your_o victual_n house_n and_o they_o will_v keep_v well_o the_o winter_n your_o potatis_fw-la succeed_v when_o the_o turnip_n be_v end_v and_o your_o cabbage_n may_v be_v preserve_v in_o the_o same_o manner_n till_o your_o spring_n kail_v come_v in_o the_o advantage_n of_o the_o potatis_fw-la be_v so_o excellent_a and_o useful_a that_o in_o

be_v a_o most_o useful_a and_o wholesome_a food_n especial_o in_o time_n of_o scarcity_n of_o the_o joice_n of_o they_o also_o still_v they_o make_v most_o excellent_a aquavitae_n this_o be_v all_o that_o be_v necessary_a for_o you_o to_o have_v in_o your_o yard_n except_o it_o be_v some_o turkey_n bean_n and_o for_o want_v of_o these_o some_o good_a ordinar_n bean_n and_o pease_n which_o will_v
