every_o tree_n will_v afford_v ten_o time_n as_o much_o advantage_n in_o the_o first_o year_n bear_v how_o to_o order_v a_o orchard_n that_o it_o shall_v never_o miss_v bear_v i_o have_v see_v several_a orchard_n that_o have_v be_v blow_v as_o white_a as_o a_o sheet_n but_o when_o the_o blossom_n have_v be_v go_v there_o have_v be_v no_o appearance_n of_o fruit_n therefore_o follow_v these_o direction_n and_o your_o tree_n shall_v not_o fail_v to_o be_v extraordinary_a well_o hang_v for_o i_o can_v assure_v you_o of_o my_o own_o knowledge_n and_o several_a other_o experience_n that_o when_o most_o orchard_n have_v miscarry_v their_o tree_n can_v not_o stand_v under_o their_o burden_n when_o you_o perceive_v there_o be_v a_o easterly_a or_o north-easter_o red_a wind_n which_o be_v ever_o account_v a_o bliting_a wind_n if_o you_o live_v near_o any_o heathy_a ground_n then_o in_o summer_n dry_a three_o or_o four_o hundred_o of_o turf_n but_o if_o you_o be_v not_o near_o any_o heathy_a ground_n then_o take_v three_o or_o four_o good_a arm_n full_a of_o muckle_n straw_n hay_o or_o fern_n not_o too_o wet_a nor_o too_o dry_a and_o observe_v which_o side_n of_o the_o orchard_n the_o wind_n blow_v on_o then_o lay_v a_o good_a armful_n of_o muckle_n in_o three_o or_o four_o place_n according_a to_o the_o bigness_n of_o your_o orchard_n get_v some_o dry_a stick_n and_o have_v kindle_v they_o put_v a_o armful_n of_o muckle_n upon_o the_o fire_n and_o it_o will_v smoke_n and_o smother_v and_o the_o wind_n will_v drive_v the_o smoke_n through_o the_o whole_a orchard_n continue_v it_o till_o the_o wind_n turn_v out_o of_o the_o easterly_a quarter_n and_o it_o will_v preserve_v the_o tree_n and_o fruit_n from_o blites_n and_o all_o manner_n of_o fly_n and_o caterpillar_n which_o those_o sort_n of_o bliting_a wind_n usual_o bring_v when_o you_o find_v the_o wind_n change_v to_o west_n north-west_n south_n or_o south-west_n you_o may_v forbear_v make_v any_o smooth_a for_o those_o wind_n never_o hurt_v observe_v this_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o not_o once_o in_o ten_o time_n you_o shall_v ever_o miscarry_v but_o on_o the_o contrary_a have_v your_o tree_n so_o furnish_v with_o fruit_n in_o the_o worst_a of_o year_n according_a to_o your_o heart_n desire_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n you_o may_v preserve_v your_o wall-fruit_n from_o frost_n a_o true_a way_n to_o make_v waterish_a fruit_n become_v firm_a sound_a and_o sweet_a when_o you_o find_v that_o your_o apple_n be_v waterish_a puffie_v or_o hollow_a and_o will_v not_o keep_v which_o if_o the_o ground_n lie_v low_a or_o near_o a_o river_n all_o sort_n of_o apple_n will_v be_v subject_a to_o and_o then_o they_o eat_v very_o unpleasant_a and_o will_v not_o keep_v though_o it_o appear_v a_o fair_a handsome_a beautiful_a fruit_n to_o the_o eye_n now_o to_o cause_v your_o fruit_n to_o eat_v firm_a and_o pleasant_a observe_v these_o direction_n about_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o october_n or_o beginning_n of_o november_n dig_v round_o every_o tree_n about_o a_o yard_n and_o a_o half_a from_o the_o body_n and_o a_o full_a spit_v deep_a or_o more_o then_o fill_v up_o the_o place_n with_o the_o best_a chalk_n and_o let_v it_o lie_v open_v all_o winter_n that_o the_o frost_n may_v chasten_v it_o that_o so_o it_o may_v incorporate_v with_o the_o earth_n and_o about_o the_o end_n of_o march_n throw_v the_o earth_n upon_o the_o chalk_n and_o water_v the_o orchard_n if_o you_o can_v and_o you_o will_v find_v in_o one_o year_n so_o great_a a_o change_n and_o extraordinary_a benefit_n accrue_v to_o the_o fruit_n of_o your_o orchard_n that_o you_o shall_v hardly_o believe_v your_o own_o taste_n and_o the_o apple_n will_v be_v wholesome_o
