 the weeds will soon grow. 



Q. Can you improve cheaply on this method ?

 processes of liming ; the meadow will then yield 

 more abundantly and for a longer period. 



Q. Can the farmer who has on hand thirty or 

 forty cart loads of dung, utilize it to increase the 

 yield and the duration of tlic meadow by following 

 this method ? 



A. Yes, and what is best to be done in this case, is to 

 allow this dimg to rotten, taking into consideration 

 the precautions above mentioned.' As soon uls the 

 grain has been harvested, the dung ::h.^uid be evenly 

 spread over the meadow, and the millet and clover 

 will soon be seen to grow with rem wed vigor. If 

 the dressing cannot be given the first year it s<liould 

 be given the second or the third year, providing 

 however the soil be not too compact. 



Q. Can the dung be spread as a coating on all 

 kinds of soils ? 



A. Dung as a coating has only good results on 

 well loosened soils; on too compact soils the liquid 

 part of the dung cannot penetrate them and es- 

 capes in the furrows, drains and ditches. 



Q. How would you prepare meadow land by the
