course OF rotation, ia
s. Mould is indispensable in every
soil, and a healthy supply can alone
be preserved through the cultivation
oil clover, and the grasses, the turn
ng in of green crops, or BY the aPPli.r
alton Of compost rich in the elements
ul mould.
s All highly concentrated animal
manures are increased in their value,
and their benefits prolonged, BY ad-
mixture with plaster, salt, or pulVer-
lied charcoal.
Z. Deep ploughing greatly improves
the productive powers Of every variety
Of soil that is not wet.
8. Sub.soiling sound land, that is
land that is not wet, is eminently con-
ductive to increased production.
8. All wet land should be well
drained.
10. All grain crops should be har.
vested before the grain is thoroughly
ripe.
IL. Clover, as well as the grasses
intended for hay, should be moved
when in full loom.
12. Sandy lands can be most effec-
tually improved BY clay. When such
lands require lining or marliDg, the
lime or mari is most henehclally ap-
piled when made into a compost with
clav. In Stacking lime, salt brine is
better than water. r.
49, The chnpping or grinding Of
grain to be fed to stock, operates as a
S wing ofat least rs per cent.
IA. Draining OF wet lands and
marshes, adds to their value, by maxi
ing them produce more, and by inn
proving the health of neighborhoods.
Is TO manure or lime wet lands
is to throw manure, lime, and labo
away.
l6. Shallow ploughing operates to
ImpoveriSh the soil, while il decreases
pro luction,
II. By stabling and shedding stock
through the winter, saving Of one
ourth the food may be effected ; that
$, one-fourth less food will answer,
han when the sock may be exposed \
% the inclemencies Of the weather,
lS. A bushel Of plaster per acre, \
'own broadcast over clover, will add |
100 per cent. to its produce.
80. Periodical applications Of ashes
END to keep up the integrity Of soils, /
cy supplying most, if not all, the Or
ganic substances.
~, Thorough preparation of land
IS absolutely necessary to the success
Iul and luxuriant growth Of crops. II
81. Abundant crops cannot be
grown for succession of years, unless
care be taken to provide an equivalent
Tor the substances carried of the land /
IN The PRODUCES grown thereon. /
22. To preserve meadows in their
oroduc'iyeness, it is necessary to har.
row them every second autumn, apply /
op-dresSing, and roll them up, i
% All stiff clays are benefited by /
all and winter pIoughings, but should /
never be plouVhed when vet. II
If at such plOughings, the furrow be
materially deepened, lime, mari, or
lshts, should be applied.
"a. Young stock should be mcder-
'tely fed with grain in winter, and re-
'eiye generous supplies of long prov
'nder, it beng essential 10 keep Them
n fair condition, in order that the
ormation Of muscles, bones, &c, mayH
,e encouraged and continuously car
led on.
25. MiIch cows, in winter, should
'e kept in dry, moderately warm, but
veil ventilated quarters, fed and
Vatered three times day, sailed
wire or three times per week, have
lean beds, be curried daily, and in
d 'ition to their long provender, should
eceIve succulent food morning and
Ight.
