JANUARY. 4Q 



The grand effect, of this manure is on uncultivated 

 waste land. On moors, mountains, bog, and 

 boggy bottoms, the effect is very great, but the 

 quantity applied considerable. The more the bet- 

 ter. In Derbyshire, as far as 600 bushels an acre 

 have been used, and even to 100O; or 33 one-horse 

 cart-loads of 3O bushels: such a dressing, when the 

 space to be improved is large, demands the employ- 

 ment of regular teams to be kept continually at 

 work. In such undertakings, it is idle to be nice 

 about the season of applying the manure ; conve- 

 nience demands that the work should go on at all 

 seasons, but in the English counties where lime is 

 most used, the common season is summer, and on 

 fallows. 



MOUNTAIN IMPROVEMENT. 

 Throughout this month, if the snows be not 

 very deep and falling, quarrying stone, and build- 

 ing walls, may proceed ; but the stones must have 

 been provided and laid ready for the latter. , In 

 some high districts, where there is much snow, 

 carting cannot be executed. The improver will 

 have no difficulty in knowing what he can, and 

 what lie cannot execute ; but every work should be 

 in his mind, that no days be unnecessarily lost. 

 He who can contrive to employ rriost hands through 

 the year, will do his work cheaper than if he were 

 not regular in his employment.
