of_o november_n 1650._o in_o answer_n to_o the_o former_a communication_n with_o a_o other_o experiment_n of_o a_o french_a husbandry_n sir_n i_o be_o much_o oblige_v unto_o you_o for_o send_v i_o the_o discourse_n of_o the_o braband-husbandry_n which_o i_o have_v peruse_v not_o long_o ago_o i_o be_v tell_v of_o certain_a man_n which_o will_v fain_o have_v mortgage_v some_o thousand_o acre_n of_o heathy_a ground_n which_o lay_v here_o and_o there_o as_o commons_o but_o the_o late_a prince_n of_o orange_n by_o the_o advice_n of_o his_o council_n dare_v not_o entertain_v any_o such_o proposition_n the_o land_n belong_v to_o the_o communality_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n the_o undertaker_n will_v not_o be_v content_v with_o less_o for_o impart_v of_o their_o secret_n it_o appear_v unto_o i_o by_o all_o circumstance_n that_o it_o be_v the_o same_o design_n of_o husbandry_n with_o you_o the_o party_n if_o i_o remember_v well_o be_v englishman_n from_o paris_n i_o be_o advertise_v for_o certain_a of_o one_o who_o do_v last_o year_n 1649._o ferment_n one_o grain_n of_o wheat_n which_o this_o year_n have_v produce_v he_o 114._o ear_n and_o within_o they_o 6000._o grain_n which_o be_v more_o than_o 80._o ear_n and_o 600._o grain_n of_o your_o english_a friend_n this_o year_n 1650._o he_o have_v a_o great_a many_o fermented_a and_o sow_v a_o answer_n to_o the_o forego_v extract_v of_o a_o letter_n from_o amsterdam_n sir_n i_o have_v receive_v from_o you_o a_o relation_n of_o a_o very_a great_a and_o wonderful_a production_n or_o increase_n which_o your_o friend_n at_o amsterdam_n relate_v to_o be_v do_v in_o france_n i_o be_o far_o from_o lessen_v the_o admirable_a greatness_n of_o that_o person_n skill_n and_o success_n only_o since_o i_o find_v myself_o take_v notice_n of_o by_o the_o same_o party_n and_o the_o experiment_n i_o make_v the_o last_o year_n of_o barley_n weigh_v in_o the_o scale_n with_o this_o and_o find_v too_o light_a i_o shall_v take_v leave_n to_o say_v that_o beside_o all_o difference_n that_o be_v or_o may_v be_v conceive_v to_o be_v betwixt_o the_o soil_n that_o of_o france_n have_v a_o manifest_a advantage_n in_o the_o elevation_n and_o powerful_a operation_n of_o the_o sun_n that_o it_o be_v probable_a he_o do_v use_v all_o possible_a mean_n both_o to_o the_o ground_n and_o seed_n to_o make_v they_o both_o fruitful_a which_o i_o do_v not_o at_o all_o but_o quite_o contrary_o i_o choose_v the_o worst_a seed_n i_o can_v procure_v and_o my_o ground_n be_v as_o barren_a as_o any_o whatsoever_o in_o the_o part_n adjacent_a i_o add_v nothing_o to_o either_o all_o i_o do_v be_v after_o the_o blade_n be_v spring_v up_o and_o whereas_o your_o friend_n mention_n 600._o out_o of_o 80._o ear_n those_o ear_n contain_v one_o with_o the_o other_o at_o the_o least_o 30._o single_a corn_n which_o be_v 2400._o that_o beside_o that_o wheat_n be_v no_o whit_n inferior_a to_o barley_n but_o rather_o more_o incline_v of_o its_o proper_a nature_n to_o branch_n and_o spread_v it_o be_v also_o allow_v as_o long_a time_n again_o to_o grow_v and_o therefore_o may_v better_v spread_v to_o many_o ear_n than_o barley_n that_o my_o ear_n of_o barley_n rate_v at_o 30._o one_o with_o the_o other_o which_o they_o be_v at_o least_o some_o have_v 38._o a_o thing_n i_o suppose_v rare_o if_o ever_o see_v in_o england_n before_o be_v full_a as_o high_a as_o his_o wheate-eare_n rate_v at_o 52._o and_o the_o seem_a great_a difference_n between_o 2400._o and_o 6000._o when_o look_v into_o will_v prove_v not_o to_o be_v in_o the_o number_n of_o ear_n which_o differ_v no_o more_o than_o as_o 14._o to_o 10._o but_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o grain_n there_o be_v universal_o as_o many_o more_o in_o a_o ear_n of_o wheat_n as_o in_o a_o ear_n of_o barley_n that_o if_o as_o it_o be_v most_o like_a he_o in_o france_n do_v only_o try_v conclusion_n to_o what_o height_n nature_n may_v possible_o be_v screw_v by_o art_n and_o that_o what_o be_v here_o relate_v be_v the_o effect_n of_o that_o trial_n that_o hold_v not_o comparison_n with_o i_o which_o be_v general_o practicable_a without_o any_o considerable_a expense_n of_o time_n or_o stock_n more_o than_o in_o the_o common-way_n last_o i_o affirm_v in_o all_o possible_a humble_a reference_n and_o submission_n to_o god_n good_a pleasure_n power_n and_o providence_n that_o when_o i_o shall_v make_v use_n of_o good_a seed_n right_o prepare_v good_a land_n in_o right_a condition_n &_o all_o other_o help_v which_o i_o know_v &_o can_v use_v i_o shall_v not_o doubt_v for_o small_a number_n of_o the_o same_o grain_n viz._n wheat_n to_o produce_v 200._o or_o 300._o ear_n and_o in_o they_o 10000_o 12000._o or_o 15000._o corn_n and_o
