now_o at_o this_o distance_n the_o land_n may_v be_v sow_v with_o corn_n between_o the_o plant_n for_o the_o term_n of_o 3_o or_o 4_o year_n and_o not_o rest_n but_o you_o must_v be_v careful_a that_o

the_o land_n by_o often_o plough_v or_o delve_v the_o plant_n can_v thrive_v or_o grow_v to_o raise_v any_o profit_n also_o by_o make_v the_o ground_n poor_a you_o will_v endanger_v the_o life_n of_o the_o plant_n and_o thereby_o lose_v all_o your_o charge_n it_o be_v my_o opinion_n that_o corn_n sow_v among_o or_o between_o the_o plant_n the_o first_o three_o or_o four_o year_n after_o plant_v will_v much_o help_v the_o thrive_a and_o growth_n of_o they_o so_o that_o neither_o corn_n or_o grass_n grow_v near_o the_o plant_n than_o one_o foot_n for_o if_o you_o take_v a_o good_a and_o early_a seed_n season_n the_o corn_n will_v be_v grow_v to_o a_o great_a head_n or_o height_n before_o the_o cold_a of_o winter_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n keep_v the_o ground_n mellow_a warm_a and_o moist_a and_o in_o the_o summer_n will_v shelter_v and_o shade_v the_o young_a tender_a shoot_n which_o the_o plant_n will_v put_v forth_o from_o the_o scorch_a sun_n now_o the_o most_o proper_a seed_n for_o the_o ground_n consider_v the_o season_n of_o the_o year_n when_o the_o timber_n seed_n be_v to_o be_v set_v or_o sow_v be_v wheat_n and_o because_o woodland_n measure_n make_v a_o large_a acre_n which_o contain_v 920_o square_a yard_n of_o land_n more_o than_o the_o statute_n acre_n or_o land_n measure_n therefore_o we_o can_v allow_v less_o than_o 3_o bushel_n of_o wheat_n to_o be_v sow_v on_o every_o acre_n yet_o because_o at_o this_o distance_n the_o plant_n will_v take_v up_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o land_n we_o shall_v therefore_o allow_v but_o 2_o bushel_n to_o a_o acre_n which_o come_v to_o 2000_o bushel_n the_o increase_n thereof_o may_v arise_v to_o 20000_o bushel_n yearly_a during_o such_o time_n the_o land_n be_v sow_v as_o before_o mention_v and_o for_o that_o the_o price_n of_o wheat_n be_v very_o uncertain_a differ_v more_o or_o less_o almost_o every_o market_n day_n we_o shall_v therefore_o value_v it_o to_o be_v worth_a one_o year_n with_o

be_v to_o be_v consider_v the_o make_v the_o fence_n about_o the_o plot_n of_o land_n before_o mention_v which_o be_v a_o thousand_o acre_n and_o although_o there_o be_v many_o figure_n of_o land_n i_o shall_v mention_v but_o one_o for_o it_o be_v not_o my_o intent_n to_o multiply_v word_n we_o will_v suppose_v the_o thousand_o acre_n to_o be_v a_o square_a piece_n of_o ground_n the_o square_a

plot_n or_o the_o 4_o square_n contain_v 1600_o perch_n about_o which_o be_v the_o content_a of_o the_o fence_n but_o if_o the_o fence_n be_v measure_v by_o wood_n hedge_n or_o ditch_n measure_n allow_v 18_o foot_n to_o the_o perch_n then_o the_o one_o angle_n or_o square_n will_v contain_v but_o 366_o perch_n 12_o foot_n and_o the_o content_a of_o the_o whole_a fence_n by_o the_o say_a wood_n measure_n be_v 1466_o perch_n 12_o foot_n the_o fence_n must_v be_v thus_o make_v first_o i_o will_v advise_v the_o ditch_n to_o be_v 6_o foot_n wide_a or_o broad_a at_o top_n and_o 5_o foot_n deep_a slopewise_o so_o that_o the_o breadth_n at_o the_o bottom_n or_o low_a part_n of_o the_o ditch_n be_v but_o 3_o foot_n or_o there_o about_o according_a as_o the_o ground_n be_v stiff_a and_o

of_o land_n delve_v or_o cast_v up_o such_o a_o plot_n of_o ground_n so_o you_o will_v have_v 40_o quadrat_n or_o square_a plot_n in_o the_o whole_a and_o leave_v a_o sufficient_a distance_n of_o
