 is presented to the roots in one of the 

 only forms in which the roots can 

 imbibe food, and the manure is spread 

 regularly through the texture of the 

 soil. If, instead of digging-in stable- 

 manure, each crop was watered occa- 

 sionally with liquid manure, the pro- 

 duce would be finer and more abundant.

 manure, prepared either by mixing one 

 part by weight of cow-dung with four 

 parts of water, or the collected drainage 

 of the stable and cowhouse. It has 

 been found advantageous to plants cul- 

 tivated in stoves to apply even a liquid 

 manure, composed of six quarts of soot 

 to a hogshead of water ; and although
