A36288	Husbandry anatomized, or, An enquiry into the present manner of teiling and manuring the ground in Scotland for most part and several rules and measures laid down for the better improvement thereof, in so much that one third part more increase may be had, and yet more than a third part of the expence of the present way of labouring thereof saved / by Ja.

by_o that_o which_o i_o shall_v propose_v but_o because_o every_o kind_n of_o ground_n be_v not_o alike_o some_o be_v valys_n which_o of_o themselves_o be_v more_o fertile_a than_o hill_n or_o

ground_n be_v natural_o fertile_a or_o lie_v near_o any_o place_n where_o dung_n can_v be_v have_v more_o land_n may_v be_v take_v into_o dung_v and_o where_o the_o ground_n be_v natural_o barren_a

of_o this_o kind_n of_o dale-ground_n above_o mention_v i_o shall_v suppose_v a_o farmer_n to_o have_v a_o lease_n or_o tack_v of_o threescore_o aikers_n at_o three_o hundred_o mark_n of_o rent_n
