nure-heap should be collected and inter
mixed with lime, fresh from the kilns. and
partially slaked with water. The propor-
tion of lime to the vegetable matter should
be one cart load to three of the refuse mat
ter, if peculiarly rich in vegetable matter !,
if poor, the proportion of refuse to the lime
may be increased from three 10 nine cart
loads. The mixed heap may rest for four
or six months, then be turned over and well
mixed, this being repeated month before
using it. 1t should be applied at the rate
of 80 loads per acre, at the commencement
of spring, and after being spread, the land
should be dragged, rolled, and bush.har-
rowed. The same authority gives the fol-
lowing caution in using guano, nitrate of
soda, or other nitrogeneous manures, as top
dressings for grass lands, which, in too many
cases, arelrendered useless, if not positively
Injurious, to the land, by the manner in
which 1t is subsequently, dealt with. Being
o powerful fertilizer, and very quick in ac-
ton, rapid growth of grass follows their
employment, and the result is, it thus be-
comes such a temptation for the scythe that
few are able to resist it. The crop is cut,
