Of tie advantages, resulting from he pro

Barley five weeks since. Tue held vas
frs; broken up well, with the common
twjs,er plough, and an ample coat Of CON
posi- manure spread over ia entire surface.
This manure was such as had been gath.
cred during the summer from all sources
from the poultry yard, the pig pen, the
horse and COW stables, and also cotton seed,
the vital powers Of which had been killed,
By being saturated with urine 10 the horse
stables. Alter spreading The manure well
over the land, good season occurred, and
enabled the owner 10 give It thorough
sUbsoilng which was performed fully IA
inches deep with al English plough, which
requires a! leas; four good horses to work

followed BY sowing tile gram at the rate Of
q bushels to the acre, after which it was
ploughed 10 about,wo inches deep aad flush

the Barley was large enough, il farmers

continued 70 grow & . surprising rs.e.
THIS Barley was sown FOR ainter soIIing,
aud with anything like mild season, ilcan

Of green food, from the frs, Of January ua

this purpose, they are the magic springs Of
wealth which are yet TO be appreciated by
our people.
