MORE ABOUT MANuRE.-At the ninth
meeting of the Legislative Agricultural So
ciety If Massachusetts, the subject of ma
nure Icing still in debate, Mr. Brown, the
chairman, remarked that it appeared by
staten EMS made by Mr.. Pell, of New-York,
that the nitrogen contained IA the excretion
OF one person would grow, in combination
with The AID of the ammonia, phosphates
and sulphates obtained from the almos-
pheTt, 500 lbs of wheat per year; at which
rate, said Mr. Brown, the population of
Boston tl5O,O00) might furnish sufficient 10
raise 100 million pounds of wheat yearly.
Add 10 this small quantity Of ashes and
bone dust, and with the natural resources of
the farm we could bring mp our lands to an
amazing degree oflerlilly. Remarks were
made by other gentlemen on the use of gu
ano and plaster, as fertilizers. Mr. French
said that. in Great Britain $500, 600 900
worth Of fertilizers are used annually He
considered it very important matter that
measures should be taken TO receive the
benefit of the vast amount of manure, now
worse than wasted about our cities, villages
and farms. The use of plaster was pretty
generally discussed, though we did not per-
ceive in the remarks Of auy Of the speakers
any allusion to the different kinds of soils 10
which plaster should be applied as a fertli.
ger. This. we think, is extremely impor-
tani. Our own experience has taught US
its Importance. Plaster. applied To light
aud sandy soils, is Of little worth. To stiff
clay soils, as top dressing for grass. i. is
invaluable, and .ne of the cheapest aud
easiest of application that the country far
mer can employ To an old pasture. appa.

suit was two tons to the acre, of excellent
herds grass aud clover hay. The soil was
principally clay; and in a dry time was
full of seams and cracks in every direction.
The effect of the plaster was to soften and
