Importance. The utility of thoroughly
clearing away the obstruction to the pillow
is also understood by some OF our best

But what shall we say Of our muck. our

an excellent manure for grass. and our
low lands are Of inestimable value, 1t We
can clear away the Superfiuous water by
ditching. or draining Our hay crops
yield an abundance of manure, and II our
