plough_v up_o your_o ground_n in_o good_a large_a furrow_n then_o hack_v it_o very_o small_a sand_n it_o limeit_n and_o manure_n it_o and_o of_o all_o meanure_n there_o be_v not_o any_o better_a for_o

the_o dead_a coldness_n which_o lie_v at_o the_o root_n thereof_o for_o in_o many_o of_o these_o unfertill_a place_n you_o shall_v see_v corn_n at_o the_o first_o sow_v while_o there_o be_v a_o
