LATIKG OUT GARDENS.

of tlie ground should be devoted to kitchen crops, following out a system of 

 rotation cropping, and using also a little caution in the application of manures; 

 green, unprepared, or rank-smelling dung, breeds no end of insect», which 

 become ruinous to the crops. In preparing manures — which, however, are 

 essential for maintaining the fertility of the soil,— let it be remembered that 

 all animal and vegetable refuse will be useful, when properly mixed. The 

 droppings of cattle, sheep, pigs, and all house-sewage, should be collected and 

 saved, and mixed with rather more than the same quantity of garden soil : 

 the application of a little quicklime will remove any offensive smell. Let the 

 offal, dung, &c., be laid in layers, about nine inches thick, mixed with similar 

 layers of garden soil and quicklime, remaining so till a good heap hp.s accu- 

 mulated, when it should be turned over and mixed thoroughly before dressing 

 the ground with it. Applied in this way, it is not so likely to breed insects, 

 and is more efficacious. The same system of grouping and rotation of crops 

 which will be indicated in a subsequent chapter, will be applicable. The fol-
