 union of streams, and as the water in-

 upon a proportional improvement in its 

 manuring quality; fori am glad to find, 

 from Mr. Young'& own words, that he 

 does at last allow water to have a manur-*- 

 mg qualify. See page 3 J 4. 



Mr. Young grants that it is usual to 

 give the preference to the low flat mea- 

 dows, for the purpojjcs of irrigation ; and
