Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Penny Cyclopaedia of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge
It has add much to the produce of Lincolnshire, that the mp5 raised on the warp lands have enabled the farmer to employ all the manure made by the abundance of straw which these lands produce to improve the lands that lie above the reach of the waters. As long as the level of the warp lands allows a fresh addition of warp, this system is htghly advantageous; but as soon as the surface rises to htgh-water mark, this system must cease, or the warp lands Will be exhausted in time, like the Dutch and Flemish polders, and require manure like other lands. The best mode of treattng warp lands which are too high to admit of being warped over again is to lay them doun to grass in a state of great fertility. The pasture upon them Will soon equal the best old grass, earrymgabullock par acre, besules several sheep during the hole of the summer.
