ti'om slaughter-houses or night-soil is 

 found the best for fruit trees in general, 

 and where it is used, should be well 

 rotted and mixt with earth some time pre- 



be wasted that any animal will eat," aiul we may 

 with equal propriety say, that nothing should be 

 ivasted that ivill add to the stock of manure. The 

 people of Switzerland, a country noticed for its 

 husbandry, have always paid great attention to this, 

 and by having tanks formed in their farm-yards, 

 they preserve all the urine from the cattle, and also 

 all other subjects formed from the concerns of 

 house-keeping, &c. and which being every hour in- 

 creasing, amounts to a valuable mass in the aggre- 

 gate ; and it will be worth the English farmers' 

 while to consider, how great and valuable a quan- 

 tity is continually running to waste in the course of 

 the year, even from the soap-suds of his wash-house 

 to the draining of his hog-sties, &c. and as there is 

 no mode of giving manure to old trees so convenient 

 as to apply it to the roots in a liquid state, such a 

 mixture would be of essential service at this time, 

 vide note, page 23. 



I have noticed in more than one instance, the 

 country farm-yards where cattle are fed, and where 

 the grand depot of manure is made, through which 

 runs a brook, the water of which passes through 

 the dung for many months together, this absurditj' 

 I cannot help noticing, and I only refrain from being 

 more particular, because I would not wish to bo 

 considered personal in my observation?.
