MIXING SOILS.


The following Interesting facts are taken
from an address delivered by G. N. Dement,
esq, before the Housatonic Agricultural So

"Some nine or ten years ago, in the early
part of my farming, | had occasion to deep

adhesive enough to remain so. After finish

Il. Having bare sandy knoll in one of the
fields, which was no, inaply termed sperson-

field. In the fall it was soiwf WITH rye and
seeded down with timothy and clover. The

Of the field. In fact, the person who occupied
