MANURiNG WITH BRUsH.-Mr. j. Clark
give', In the Gsrmantown Telegraph, the fol.
lowing experiment Of blowing under brush as
manure, which Illustrates point worthy efat
tention. The locsening and aeration of the
soil, especially fheavy, 10 not sufficiently cared
for. The best crop Of oats $50 bushels to the
acre) we ever raised, was obtained by blowing
under all the straw the pillow could cover. This
was good, sound straw, and could not have de-
cayed early enough TO produce such a result As
fertilizer. 1t was simply the eftect of leaving
an air space eight Inches down In stiff, clay
loan. Mr.. Clark says: My idea was that one
great cause why he could not get as good crops
from old fields as when they were first cultivat-
ed, was owing, In q great part, to the density
Of the soil. 1 had observed that the first eight
or ten years after clearing of the forest the land
would give good crops with very little care In
blowing; the reason for this, argued, was the
decaying Of innumerable rootlets OF the trees
cut down. In order TO test this theory cut
about two tons of water-brnsh, bareback and
other small bushes, and let them lie In pile
exposed to the weather year and then applied
them 10 half acre Of land, and applied barn
yard manure 10 another hali-acre adjoining -
the result proved the manure 10 be a little the
best the first year, which was corn. Sowed
grass seed In the fall after harvesting the corn,
The manured place did pretty well for about
hve years, the brush piece did well for about
ten years, proving the theory to be correct
used two tols OF the manure as balance for
the two cords Of bushes the blowing was six
or eight inches deep. 1 have repeated the ex-
pertinent since, with the same result.
