Green Wanuring.

eNtN4A <%0--1AAHos
On the varieties ofgreen manures,
and Of their action on the soil, Pro-
tessor Johnston has the following OBJ
scrvations
"The practice Of green inanuring
has been in use from very early Pc
RODS. The second or third crop OF
iucsrne was ploughed in by the an
cient Romans--aS it still is by the
modern Italians. In Tuscany, the
iyhae tapia is rloughcd in-in GER
many, b0r0ge-and in lolS.ein,
Spmry. The NadtrG soiira has
lately been tried as a green manure
IN Silesia. In French Flanders, two
crops of ciorer are cut and The third
ploughed in." We have seen, from
what Mr.. Fortune has observed, that
the red ciQuer is grown IN China en-
tirely for the purpose of being
ploughed in. "ln some parts Of the
United States, the clover is never
cut, but is ploughed III as the only
manure ; in other parts, the first
crop is cut and the second ploughed
in. In some of the northern states,
Indian corn is Sown on poor lands,
sometimes two or three times, and
turned in during the simmer. In
northeastern China, a species OF
coroniita and hefoH are specially
sown and grown in ridges as a ma
nure for the rice crop.
Since the time Of the Romans, it has
been the custom to bury the cuttings
of the vine stocks at the roots Of the
vines themselves; and many yine-
yards flourish for a succession Of
years without any other manuring.
In the Weald OF Kent, the prunings
Of the hop vine, chopped and dug
in, or made into a compost and ap-
Piled to the roots Of the hop, give a
larger crop and with half the ma
nure, than when they are burned or
thrown away, as is usually dome
Buckwheat, rye, winter-tares, clio.
yer, and rape, are all occasionally
sown in this country for the purpose
of being ploughed in. This should
he done uheH tie Fower has just
begun 10 open, and if possible, at a
season when the warmth of the air
and the dryness of the soil are such
as to facilitate decomposition,
"That the soil should be richer in
vegetable matter, after this burial oI
a crop, than it was before the seed
of that crop was sown, and should
also be otherwise benefited, will be
understood by recolle citing that per-
liaps three -fourths Of the whole or
ganic matter we bury has been de.
rived from the air-that by this pro-
cess of ploughing in, the vegetable
is more equally difused through The
whole soil, than it could ever be by
any merely mechanical means-anC
that by the natural decay of this
vegetable matter, ammonia and nj
tric acid are, to a great extent, pro-
duced in the soil, ard its agricuItu-
raj capabilities in consequence ma.
terially increased. Indeed, green
opploughed in is believed, by some
practical men, to enrich the soil as
much as the droppings of cattle
from a quantity Of green food three
times as great
