^^O VARD-DIJNG- 



likes short much better: though lOO ioads carried out, be- 

 comes but 60 oil the laml- Mr. Dursgate would not 

 have 3 bullock on his farm, except for treading straw into 

 muck : he would have none eaten. 



Mr. Styleman, of Sncttisham, carts out his yard- 

 muck on to platforms of marie, turns over, and lays it 011 

 for turnips. He thinks long muck might do well for 

 strong land. 



Mr. Saffory, of Downham, turns over the dung in 

 the yard, and tlien carts it for turnips, ploughing in di- 

 rectly. He has seen very long fresh dung spread and 

 ploughed in direflly for turnips, and it has answered well 

 on strong, but not on light land. Some cart out of yards, 

 and mix with mould. 



Mr. Porter, of Watlington, turns over dunghills, 

 to have the muck short for turnips, not liking long dung 

 at all ; it makes the land scald. 



Mr. Rogerson, of Narborough, carts earth into his 

 yards previously to foddering, and when it is done, turns 

 it over for turnips. 



Mr. Priest, of Besthorpe, forms his yard-muck into 

 a heap, and turns over: chuses to have it short : even in 

 this way he has boys to tuck it in. 



Mr, GoDDisoN, Steward to the Earl of Cholmon- 

 DELEY, at Houghton, considers rotten dung as necessary 

 for wheat on light soils ; and he prefers top-dressing 

 ■wheat crops to ploughing in at seed-time : he also top- 

 folds as much as he can do by Christmas, harrowing both 

 across in the spring : but for turnips he has a high opi- 

 nion of long-muck ; he carries it out of the yard witii- 

 out any stirring over, and ploughs it in for that crop; 

 little harrowing up ; nor does it impede the hoe: it an- 

 swers greatly, and the barley after has been much bet-
