Another kind of manure, mentioned by Dr. FL
iot, is shell sand it is called sand but improp-
erly as IT lies on the beach, to observing eye
it would be thought sand, whereas it j. not grit,
but small broken shells. 1t Is remarkable that
such large beaches, in which there are maay
thousand cart oads,yet composed chiefly of shells
not larger than mans little finger nail--as also
hyou take away twenty or thirty tons, the cavity
will be filled in few days with the same sort Of
shells. This is supposed to be the same kind of
shell sand which in England and Ireland they
carry IN bags on horses twenty or thirty miles in
to the country to SOW on their lands to enrich Il
and to save the wheat from blast and mildew.
Clay ashes is next noticed. The clay that is
ola reddish colour is esteemed the best. Three
cart load of ashes is said TO be sufficient to dress
an acre well.
Directions for Burning Clay.
Dig your clay with a spade in splits of the big
ness of ordinary bricks dig two, three, eighteen
or twenty loads, or less, as you please take
small bRets of wood, or faggots of brush, pile Il
up in the form of a pyramid or sugar loaf, three
or four feet high, then take these spits Of clay af
ter they are dried in the sun, surround your pile
Of wood with them, laying them close to the
wood, one upon another, till you have enclosed
the wood, only leaving an hole on the side to put
in the fire, and hole in the top for draft then
surround again with spits OF clay from top to bot
tohif a. DciOlcs anu tuth tutTU IN the
same order, then kindle your fire when il il got
On fire, stop up the holes with clay, the innate
heat will fire the clay till it grows so hot that
you may put on wet clay in great quantities but
you must mind and not put On clay 50 fast, or lay
i 50 close as to put out your fire, for If you do 50,
you must begin al anew. If you desire to burn
% much clay a. that the heap grows so high that
YOU cannot reach 10 lay it up, you may builia
stage with boards, by which you may advance to
As great height as you please The pile must Be
watched and tended night and day, till It is fully
burnt The author Of the book from which this
eceiPt is taken, very nucn conmends clay ashes
,nd asserts that forty bushels Of these ashes isa
iIll dressing for acre Of land. Let some pub
lie spirited farmer make an experiment on the a.
5ove suggestions and acqusmt the public with
the result
Another sort Of dressing for land Is lime stone

reemed by farmers in England, although 1t may
