laid down his paper, and looking stead

'Sir George Littleton has this morning

Improve Wet Land.

The winter is the most convenient
time for removing wood, trees and BUSH
es from wet lands, and for hauling sand,
gravel, loan and manure on them
Where there is large quantity of peat
or mud, gravel is preferable to sand or
loan, and sand is the next best ingredi-
emf. Gravel and sand contain large
portion Of slick, which is necessary 10
give firmness to the stem of grass or
grain they are necessary even, if there
is an abundance of vegetable mould OF
manure. Without gravel, sand, or loan
containing large portion of sand, grass
and grain will not have sufficient firm
ness TO stand upright, but will fall to the
ground.
If it is rather dry from its soil or stu.
alton, loan may be applied with profit
and if very dry, clay is preferable. In
some cases clay has been used with great
advantage. In many cases wet land:
will not admit of access excepting wher
frozen; therefore farmers should en-
brace the favorable opportunity to attend
to this business during wintcr.-,4lban,
