consumption, at the north side of your buildings, 

 where it may be kept cool until the frosts of winter 

 set in, then stow it away in your cellar. 



Plough into one bout ridges (with deep ploughing) 

 such grounds as you design the next season, for hemp 

 an^fiYx; the extra -benefit you will" derive from the 

 frosts of 'winter, and tt^3 rotting of the herbage, will 

 richly repay the ,expense, in your succeeding crops.

Your carrots, potatoes, and other roots, together 

 with your Indian-corn and flax, must now all be secur- 

 ed and housed ; and your hemp is also housed, or un- 

 der a proper management, and in a good way. Your 

 orchards are cleared and your cider all made, and 

 your ridge-ploughing for winter generally through : 

 now let your farm-yard claim your first attention. 

 Cart on to your mowing grounds all the iiianure col- 

 lected in your barn-yard and in your stercoraries and 

 hog-pens through the summer, spreacj.it in moist wea- 

 ther, or before a rain, as even as possible, and brush 

 it down thoroughly with a light barrow, or a thorn- 

 bush, or any other bush that will answer the purpose ; 

 your moist grass grounds which cannot be washed 

 by drains, or enriched with plaster, ajid ; your young 

 clover, claim your first attention for fall manuring. 

 Two loads of dung well spread on grass lands in the 

 fall, are equal to three in the spring, in ordinary sea- 

 sons ; but if the following May and summer should 

 prove dry, two loads in the fall are equal to four in 

 in the spring. This is too serious an advantage to 

 be neglected. After all your care and attention to 

 this most important branch of good farming, through 

 the summer and autumn, if your dung should fall short of 

 your demands, you may now supply the defect, by re- 

 serving your high and dry gravelly and sandy lands
