MANURE GREEN WHEATS. 



This is likewise the season for spreading super- 

 ficial dressings on the green wheats, such as soot, 

 ashes, malt-dust, pigeons' dung, poultry dung, rab- 

 bits' dung, &c. and many other sorts in the neigh- 

 bourhood of great cities. It is very good hus- 

 bandry ; but the profit depends on the expences. 

 I shall venture to recommend trying them in small, 

 (a rood, for instance, to each) before extending the 

 practice to whole fields, especially those which arc 

 not dungs. As to the latter, provided the prices 

 be not extravagant, there can be no doubt of their 

 answering on all soils. Whenever a farmer has t! 

 choice of manures, never let him hesitate about 

 which to take. He may lay it down as a maxn 

 that dungs of all sorts are excellent. Other manur 

 may be the same, but they are not so universally 

 beneficial to all soils. 



FARM -YARD. 



Throughout this month, great attention must 

 paid to the farm-yard, and all the buildings wlu 

 cattle are, to see that every place be kept con- 

 stantly littered, so that the beasts may be clean ; 

 and, if the stock of litter laid in in autumn will not 

 last, it is time now, to agree with some neighbours, 

 for a weekly supply of jv fuse straw or stubble. Al 

 all events, there ought IK-U.T to br a want of litu 

 cither in the stalls or the yard ; for the only way of
