A FACT FOR FARMERs.-DE. r. T. Bald
win has recently made public the result of
several years investigations and experiment
upon manures, and the various wavs of fer
tilizing the soil. He States that the best
and speedlest way 10 ter,illzing any soil, is
to cover it over with straw, bushes or any
raw material, so as completely to shade it.
The surface of the earth thus being made
cool, dark, damp and close, soon undergoes
chemical process like putre!action, and
and becomes highly fertilized. This plan
Of fertilizing, he says, may be applied with
success to any soil whatever, no matter
how poor, and the result will be astonish-
ing.
