YARD-DUNG. 42^ 



At Ludham, 12 loads per acre o^ par dung, common. 

 Mr. HoRNARD often lavs on 20. He carts his muck to 

 lieaps, on moulds, not sufFt*ring the teams to go on to the 

 iiills. Some farmers turn it over. He never keeps it over- 

 year. He lays some on tor wheat, but tor turnips in pre« 

 ference. 



Mr. Cubit, at Catficld, and others, carry out muck 

 in frostv weather, on to mould heaps, and also when bar- 

 ley sowing is over. He has often carried out long fresh 

 dung for turnips, and the efFedl has been very good, espe- 

 cially if the land has been at a}l strong or wet. The ob- 

 jedtions are, the difncuity of hoeing well, and tlie manuring 

 being unequal, from some yards and parts of yards being 

 better than others ; whereas, in carting to hills, Mr. Cu- 

 bit takes from oxen and stables, alternately, in order that 

 the whole may be mixed and equal, when turned over- 

 Mr. Cubit, at Honing, thinks that for land on a wet 

 bottom, long dung is good for turnips or wheat ; but h? 

 carts on to hills, to have it as sh.ort as possible j for on 

 light land he has known it fail, for turnips, when long. 



Throughout the hundreds of North and South Erping- 

 ham, the same management prevails ; all cart out and hill, 

 and in general turn over. 



Mr. Dyele, of Scotter, makes platforms of earth, then 

 a layer of mai'le, and turns over, then adds muck, and 

 turns again, whether for turnips or wheat. Has on many 

 acres carted long fresh stable muck for turnips, ploughing 

 it in at once, and gained fine crops If the season proved 

 wet; but not in a dry time. 



Mr. Repton, at Oxnead, thinks long dung the best 

 for turnips; however, he seldom uses it ; but when he 

 has, the turnips have generally been the best. Carts his 

 (dung on to heaps of marie, and turns over. 



Mr. Johnson, of '^^Thurning, thinks that muck wastes
