Northfield Farms, March 6th, 1852. tf 



THIS article, for use to the best advantage with meadow 

 mud, may be mixed as follows-. — Place a layer of about 12 

 inches of mud or peat, then a layer of from 2 to 3 inches of 

 lime, and so on alternately until the heap is from 6 to 10 feet 

 in height; let it stand at least 4 weeks. In this time the lime 

 will be all slaked. Then turn it, and it will be fit for use. 



By this process the hurnic acid which is contained more or 

 less in all nfeadow land, is neutralized, and a compost is 

 formed nearly equal to the best barn-yard manure. 



This lime is offered at the low price of one shilling per bar 

 rel, delivered at the Kiln, at Medford Street, Charlestown, or 

 if packed in barrels or hogsheads, at 35 cents per bbl., and de- 

 livered at any of the Railroad Depots in Boston or Charles- 

 town, by JAMES GOULD, Agent, No. 70 State Street.
