Take a Land-surveyor with you; and have all well considered; and
exactly inform yourself what kind of land it is, whether it can
only grow rye, or whether some of it is barley-land: you must
consider it YOURSELF, and do it all out of your own head, though
you may consult with others about it. In grazing-ground (HUTHUNG)
