as necessary to the thriving increase of
vegetable, as of animals.
In this attempt I succeeded, as the
result will show. I have nov broken
up all these FIVE hundred acres, eighteen
inches deel. The subsoil pillow follow
ing inKths furrow after the other and
the substratum was 10 hard that the
horses were frequently set fast, requir-
ing the use of the pick to loosen the soil
that they might proceed. After the
first year, the land produced double the
former crops, carrots growing TO a length
of I6 inches, and of proportionate diam
eter. This amendment could have
arisen solely from the deep blowing, as
of manure 1 had scarcely any. The
pillow tore up the roots of the gorse,
heather, and fern, so that the land lost
all the character of the heath-land, the
first year after the deep blowing, which
it had before retained, Notwithstanding
the plewing the usual way for thirty
five years. Immediately after this sub
soil plcwing, the crop of wheat was
strong, and long in the straw, and the
berry plump and heavy weighing full
sixty-four pounds to the bushel.
The milIers were DESTROYS of purchas-
ing it, and could scarcely believe that
it was grown upon the heath-land, as in
former years, my bailif could with diff
fculty get a miller to look at his sam
pie. Let it be borne in mind, that this
land had no manur for years, was run
ont, and could only have been restored
by deep blowing.
