tage in managing his farm, and in this point of 

 view, this does not rank as one of the least." 



STONES. 



Whore arable lanils particularly abound with 

 these, no good culture can be carried on. The 

 tirst step then is to clear sucli lands of the stones, 

 and let this be done ificctually ; carrying oft' the 

 small ones and digy:iug out the large ones, so that 

 there be no obstructions to the plough. 



Some lands may indeed betoostony to be clear- 

 ed of them to any present advantage. Let such 

 bo left to the prowess of future generations ; they 

 will undoubtedly find their account in clearing 

 such, and find use for the stones. If they be not 

 all wanted for fences, bjildings, &c. they may be 

 found useful in makin"; hollow drains, &c. 



If stones be very b-! y shapcn, so that they will 

 not lie in a wall, perliaps the better way may be 

 to throw them aside, and make hedge-fences; 

 but if they be chiefly well sliapcd, let them be 

 made into walls; for thcfe, if properly made, will 

 last an age, with some trilling repairs. The best 

 method of making these is to dig a trench, where 

 the wall is to bo made, to the depth of about eigliteen 

 inches; into this throw all the small and bad- 

 i>haped stones, until the trench is filled ; then on 

 the top of these build the wall, in a mason-like 

 manner, to the height ofabout five feet, and throw 

 the earth dug out of the trench up against the 

 wall on each si^le ; and in this Vv'ay it will stand 

 for a length of time beyond the memory of Man. — 

 If a trench be not dug in this manner, the next 

 best method is to plough deep trenches close on 

 each side of the wall, after it is built, and throw 

 the earth, thus ploughed up, against the wall.
