for_o as_o we_o have_v show_v in_o the_o management_n of_o land_n for_o corn_n so_o the_o ground_n where_o fruit-tree_n grow_v will_v in_o process_n of_o time_n become_v poor_a sour_a and_o hungry_a

neither_o do_v it_o generate_v good_a juice_n and_o the_o tree_n begin_v to_o languish_v and_o become_v consumptive_a which_o be_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o moss_n canker_n blithe_n and_o the_o like_a and_o yet_o that_o same_o ground_n if_o manure_v for_o other_o thing_n as_o bean_n pea_n and_o the_o like_a will_v bear_v great_a crop_n for_o it_o be_v rich_a enough_o in_o that_o salniteral_a

endue_v with_o such_o a_o quality_n as_o be_v proper_a to_o bring_v forth_o and_o nourish_v such_o tree_n and_o consist_v chief_o thereof_o and_o therefore_o such_o wood_n will_v grow_v natural_o there_o without_o plant_v as_o well_o as_o without_o manure_v so_o all_o good_a ground_n will_v always_o bring_v forth_o grass_n more_o or_o less_o as_o the_o season_n be_v kind_a or_o the_o

enough_o natural_o so_o that_o every_o thing_n must_v be_v manage_v according_a to_o its_o kind_n and_o there_o be_v no_o parity_n between_o fruit-tree_n and_o other_o common_a tree_n both_o for_o the_o reason_n just_a now_o give_v as_o especial_o because_o the_o latter_a do_v not_o bare_a any_o annual_a crop_n as_o the_o former_a but_o if_o the_o trunk_n and_o branch_n live_v and_o grow_v it_o

brave_o blossom_v and_o yet_o at_o autumn_n no_o fruit_n the_o reason_n be_v common_o ascribe_v to_o blast_v or_o frost_n but_o i_o believe_v it_o may_v most_o time_n be_v refer_v to_o the_o cause_n

what_o remedy_n for_o all_o this_o can_v you_o show_v a_o natural_a way_n to_o keep_v and_o render_v tree_n capable_a of_o bear_v every_o year_n or_o for_o the_o most_o part_n i_o answer_v you_o and_o it_o be_v thus_o dig_v three_o four_o five_o or_o six_o yard_n about_o each_o tree_n to_o the_o root_n carry_v away_o most_o of_o the_o earth_n and_o supply_v the_o place_n with_o fresh_a earth_n mix_v with_o a_o little_a dung_n alike_o quantity_n to_o which_o you_o carry_v away_o and_o this_o you_o ought_v to_o do_v every_o three_o four_o or_o five_o year_n or_o as_o often_o as_o the_o
