NOTICES 



FOB A 



YOUNG FARMER; 



PARTICULARLY ONE ON 



WORN LANDS; 



BEING SOME RUDIMENTS FOR AN 



EPITOME OF GOOD HUSBANDRY ; 



AND SUBJECTS PROMOTIVE OF ITS PROSPERITY. 



I. You cannot be too careful in forming the plan of your 

 Farm-Yard ; (the magazine and laboratory of your principal 

 stores for artificial fertility,) calculated ultimately for your 

 improved farm. But begin with such parts of your farm 

 buildings and accommodations as suit its present state of cul- 

 ture ; and add such conveniences, as circumstances, from time 

 to time, require. 



If no water be in your yard, dig a well, promptly ; and 

 confine your stock from November to May ; never permitting 

 thein to wander after water, the provender of the stalk-field, 

 or the miserable fogge of other fields ; in which they empty 

 themselves, gain little nourishment, and uselessly scatter their 

 dung ; the fertilizing qualities whereof, are thus given to the 

 winds ; and only a dry and inert remnant left, for future 

 benefit. The stalks and husks of Indian Corn, should be 

 brought home for feed and manure ; instead of being waste- 

 fully browsed, and trodden down, by wandering cattle. Let 

 not a hoof, unnecessarily, leave your yard, or stables ; not 

 however, neglecting to give them proper exercise, within the 

 enclosure, or if out of it, let them so remain only during the 

 time employed in such exercise ; or in the services required 

 from them.
