WATEJi MEADOW^. 



In this month you may begin to winter water the 

 meadows and pastures, wherever it can be done ; 

 and be assured that no improvement will pay bet- 

 ter: a winter's watering will answer in the hay, 

 fully equal to a common manuring of the best stuff 

 you can lay on the land ; and the expence, in some 

 situations, is trifling. The lower parts of a farm 

 are generally in grass ; the farmer should attend to 

 his ditches, so that the water from all the higher 

 parts of the farm may have an unobstructed course 

 to a ditch a little above the bottom, from which it 

 may be let at pleasure over the meadows, ob- 

 serving that it only runs over them, and does not 

 stagnate. 



BURNET. 



It is a common error with the cultivators of bur- 

 net, to let cattle go into the fields at this time of 

 the year; but it is bad management, and contrary 

 to the intention of the culture. Keep it through- 

 out autumn and winter from any cattle: it will 

 then be ready in the spring, when most wanted, for 

 sheep. 



WALLING. 



In the dry stony countries, walls are the com- 

 mon fence, and, when well made, are impene- 

 trable, and extremely durable. This is the proper 

 season to begin building them : they are made of 

 Vrhatever stone is most plentiful; either lime*stone>
