covered One theory after another has
been started only TO be exploded. Never

in sufficient proportion OF csses 10 rem
der it expedient to continue to try them.
One OF the most successful has been the
application of!imo and ashes. Sometimes
they have been put, i'll the hill, sometimes
on the hill, and sometimes sown broadcast
over the land. Frequently they have been
used together, and as frequently either OF
them alone. We know OF no marked and
established difference in the result. On
manv soils there is no better manure than
wood ashes, apart from any influence they
may have in preventing the rot. The cost

production But on the SITTER clay in the
viciaity of Rochester, we are told that ash
es are rather Injurious than beneficial. On
many soils, too. lime increases the crop
