the ridge of a field had been missed in liminiT. Bmns, (26 varieties,) indud 



produced no good wheat, while all the other parts 

 afforded a good crop ; that lime, or some other 

 calcircous materia , is equally necessary for the 

 production of {rood wheat crops as for those of 

 the pea kind. The general observation that the 

 wheat, where this sort of manure has been ein- 

 plyed, is thinner in the skin, more plump, and 

 yields better, seems also to facor the same conclu- 

 sion. Impregnations of tliis sort appear likewise, 

 particularly favorable for the production of barley 

 crops, much more so, (if in large productio'hs), 

 than for those of oats. — Dv kson's Farmer^s' Com-
