MANURING 383 



sewage is good applied to coarse vegetables or trees. The 

 drainings of farmyards, stables, &c., with three times the 

 quantity of water added, make good liquid manure also. 

 Still these liquids should not be applied too freely ; a water- 

 ing with them once a week suffices for most growing plants. 



In gardens it is an excellent plan to have a large tub 

 that can be used for the making of liquid manure of any 

 description standing in some out-of-the-way corner. When 

 the liquid is used daily, though not to the same crop or plant, 

 no unpleasant smell is emitted. When not in use an old 

 sack or mat may be thrown over the tub.
