408 MARLE. 



Ar Ludliam tliey have it by water from Thorpe, Wight- 

 linghain and Wroxham, at 4s. a chaKlron ; and lay from 

 eight to ten cart loads an acre ; it lasts 20 years. Mr. 

 HoRNARD spreads it on stubbles scaled: none better for 

 it than a one year's layer tliat is to remain another. 



He also lays it in summer on turnip fallows : first marls, 

 then spreads the dung ; scales in, and then deeper for the 

 seed earth. 



Air. Cubit, &:c. at Catfield, brint^s marie from Hor- 

 sted, 20 miles, by water ; costs at the staith 5I. 5s. a keel 

 of 36 chaldrons, 18 to 20 loads. He lays on seven or 

 eight loads per acre, generally on a fallow for turnips : lasts 

 30 or 40 years. Mr. CuBir has some land done 40 years 

 ago, and does not yet want renewing. 



Mr. Cubit, of Honing, spreads eiglit or nine loads per 

 acre, from Wroxham, at 5s. a load at the staith, three 

 miles off: he would give 9s. a load in his yard ; no clay- 

 jnarle of their own, except at Happsborough. When tur- 

 nips shew the anbury, it is a sure sign that the land wants 

 jnarling. 



They have white mrtrle in North Walsham, and it is 

 much used: Mr. Payne has done 40 acres in one year, 

 12 loads an acre : it lasts 14 to 20 years. It is common to 

 make layers of mould, the marie on to tliat, and then the 

 yard muck, and turn the whole over together : they also 

 lay lime on mould, turn it over, leaving it some time, then 

 muck on, and turn the whole over again ; all chiefly for 

 turnips, bqt some for wheat. Mr MARc^rEsoN brings it 

 five miles, from Oxnead and Laminas ; lays on ten cart 

 loads an acre : it lasts 20 years. If the land has not been 

 marled, or wants a renewal, the turnips have the anbury, 

 which this manure prevents entirely. 



All the country about Scotta has been marled ; full of 



nmrle
