MAEURING BY MUDDY WATER.-The even.
ings during the holding OF the New York State
Fair at Elmira, last week, were improved by
the meeting of far ners at the Farmers Club
where Informal but interesting interchanges OF
opinion and discussions took place. The fol-
lowing weextract as report of some remarks
on manuring grass through irrigation by m nd :
dy water, made by A. B. Dickinson:
II said last night that / would make a
heavier growth OF grass by the use of clay than
/ could by barn-yard manure. l consider clay
twiceas good as muck for manure. 1t won't
pay to haul muck where clay can be had
Grass is the all mpsrtant crop in this conn
try. All countries that don't produce grass
naturally, run down and become unfertiie.
hold that one load of manure on the surface is
worth two loads ploughed in. A load of clay
run on to grass land by irrigation is worth
more than manure in any quantity, because it
nourishes the roots and it makes the grass grow
more sold, and makes the crop all stand up
and grow very heavy. In running on liquid
manure my grass grew too fast and lodxed
and lodged grass will not make over 2b tons
per acre Of cured hay. / have made four tons
per acre by running on muddy water. But this
must be very carefully applied, and it m ust be
done in cool weather. In not wea her the wa
ter is apt 20 rot the sod. have irrigated about
100 acres, and make tho water muddy by
pioughing and stirring up the clay in pono.
Clear wafer will benefit land, but it takes q
great while longer to do it, 1 never now u
second CROP prefer to let the second growth
remain to cover the land. Que acre of old mea-
dow, thick and fine grass, is worth an acre and
half of new meadow. Upon farm where
grass will grow there is no difficulty in max
log land rich. There is no dressing of manure,
such as is often given to land, equal TO thick
grass sod Manure may be drawn upon grass
land the very day he grass is cut, 10 the best t
advantage. l Idon'tapprove of Fastening NOW.
ing land. 1 run the muddy water on in winter,
as well as the fall and spring. use the natural
drainage of a hundred acres OF land, concen-
trated by under drains made by a mole plough,
into an artificial pond, and use that water
made m uddy, to run on other land. / run my
Drains about eighteen inches deep, and have
some Of these mole drains, made twoni five
years ago, which are as effectnal now as when
first made. l do not attempt to enrich a
whole farm in one year by irrigation, but take
II in sections, say ten acres year. My manure
haul upon the fields that cannot reach with
water"
