the dung | to change » of weather. It ar arose, in the first | 
instance, perhaps, from necessity, but it has been found 
so useful that it has been much adopted. We have 
applied it with decided advantage to crops after hoeing, 
time being thus gained for the production of manure. 
In the district of Marck, it is daily gaining ground ; 
the dung is spread when the plant has already appeared, 
and experience shows that the passage of the carts 
over the land is not sensibly injurious ; it would be 
preferable, however, to €'100se a time when the surface 
is hard from frost. ‘This method, according to Schwertz, 
is very useful in Switzerland for hemp, and indeed for 
almost every kind of crop. I regard it myself as a 
matter of convenience, but Thaer assures us, and his 
p nun is of great weight, that he has too often seen 
its good effeets on leguminous erops not to be convineed 
of the excellence of this method on loose land in which 
the"grain has been sown rather late.— M. J.

THERE are several oper: d fe to this month which we 
have not yet mentioned, and which with the limited space per. 
niitted tous, we can now do little more than merely enumerate.

will be ready for E or feeding in Jum an

DEM aere, drilled in mr po inches s apart, is à sufficient seeding. 
‘A bed of Cabbage seed should now be sown for transplanting in 
June—the Drumhead is as good a field Cabbage as any. Grass 
y be manured with farmyard compost, or any of the 
E soluble manures, as bone-dust, during dry weather in this 
mth. All soluble top-dressings should be applied later in the 
season, when plants are more able to take immediate advantage
