farmers in relation TO the careessness with which they
attend TO their barn yard and stable manures the void

prove more land than what little they carry out upon
them. There is nothing which farmer can more u

Much could be said upon This subject but fearing This
Essay already too long, may become tresome, shall
conclude this subject by strenuously advising more
careful and constant eye 10 the accumulation and pres

Y eoaelqslon Mhsbsg Eaa have the stiff gays or
desire restore them fertility, they must have the
advantage of lime, ctoper and plaster and regular
rotation of crops You must lend all your
gies TO the accumulation OF manures both ANIMAL re-
getable and minerGl-you cannot expect your lands to
yield you remunerating crops unless you continue 10
keep up its fertility by liberal applications of manure
Should your barn yard and stables fail 10 afford you
sufficient supply, you should go 10 your marshes,
woods and ditch banks, and there find the elements for
manure we know the chief element of all manure
being vegetable matter, and IFS production being neces-
sariIy slow and laborous exhausted soils should
take advantage of every assistant in increasing and
applying it to the soil.
Hoping that this Essay may be received by farmers
in the spirit in which it is written, and may be the
