run to seed, and other sucli materials as are most 

 suitable to the nature of the land, to be manured 

 with them. The racks and cribs, out of which the 

 cattle are foddered, should be frequently moved 

 over the yard, that the offal, straw, and hay may 

 be equally dispersed, and trod in by the cattle. 

 This method of spreading the dung and other 

 materials being continued, the whole will be in- 

 corporated with the urine of the cattle, and make 

 an extraordinary rich compost. 



" The only inconveniency of this kind of com- 

 post, is its being filled with the seeds of weeds, 

 from the earth, mixed with it, the hay, straw, and 

 dung of the cattle. It is therefore a manure best 

 suited to grass-grounds, and to such arable lands as 

 are to be hoed, as turnips, cabbages, carrots, pota- 

 toes, beans, &c. as these weeds will in great mea- 

 sure be destroyed by good hoeing." 



LIME. 



The lime-kiln may be kept burning through all 

 this month, and time carted and spread whenever 

 the carts can move without damage to wet soils. 

 This may be done on dry land at all times. 

 MARLING 



May go on profitably through all this month. 

 In January, I gave an account of the methods of 

 one who had marled more than most men ; and 

 here I shall note some opinions of another excel- 

 lent farmer, who occupied 1200 acres, and marled 

 much of it.
