[Jaw h 





continuing till Jane I bate been amply renmneratr.i for | 

 all my outlay and trouble, without taking into account 

 the great adf ant.ige of the ad nal and enriched manure 

 of twenty cattle Aliening upon the farm, where ten only 

 could hate been kept had Turnipa alone been used for that 

 purpose ; and to any peraon at all at ted with Agn- 



cul'ure it muat be etident that on. irtload of manure 

 made by cattle thus fed will he at least equal to two if the 

 cattle had got only atraw and water. The above experi- 

 ment*, which are corroborated by thoie conducted tot 

 icaaon by Messrs. Andrew Ilowdon and Alexander 

 Brodie, jonior, tend to show that the winter feeding of 

 cattle is nv>re capable of successful extension by those 

 who have a sufti< ieocy of straw, but hftTC not such an 

 abundance of Turnips as to be able to make all their 

 straw into manure by cattle upon full feeding, than was 

 form-rly Imagined. — i xriment* by Mr. lirodte, of 

 Alh*y Maim, IfadJingtin, 1836-7. 



Hoots > riant*.— In loamy or sandy soil*, the roots 



of trees have been found to penetrate to the d h of 10 



or 12 feet; and the roots of the Canada TJ le have 



been traced G or 7 feet below the surface. Wheat, if 



planted in a mellow rich soil, will strike its roots 3 feet 



downwards, and elongate much further horn tally. 1 he 



roots of Outs have been .liscotered at 1R inches from the 



ttem, end the long thread like roots of grass extend st.ll 



further. The roots of an Onion are so white, that in 



black mould they can be readily traced, and in a trenched 



or spaded soil thry hsve been followed to the depth of 



two feet. Tin- Potato throws out roots to the distance 



of 15 or 20 inches ; end the tap-rooted plants, Turnips, 



Beets, Carrots, Sec, independent of ) . -rpend d>r ton, 



spread tl r fibres to a distsnee which equals if it does 



toot exceed the Potato. It is perfectly absurd to expect 



to succeed with roots of this class, unless the gro< I is so 



mellow as to allow them to penetrate and grow freely. 



—Chatham Joumn'. 



Mnnnrinn and 8t$*p*ng of Seed*.— The quantity of 

 inorganic matter contained in the grain of Wheat. Oats, 

 Barley, &C, is comparatively small. But, though small 

 in quantity, this inorganic matter is absolutely essential to 

 the perfect nditisi if the seed, and to the healthy 

 growth of the plant that springs from it. \\ hen seed 

 are steeped in water, they •well and increase in bulk. 

 They absorb a portion of the water and of any saline sub- 

 stances it may hold in solution. Now, if the small quan 

 tity of saline or inorganic matter * rh exists in seeds 

 does really promote their growth, may not a larger quan- 

 tity promote it more? May not the growth be more 

 luxuriant if the seed be steeped in water containing saline 

 lubstances in solution, and he thus made to absorb an 

 additional proportion f It does not appear unreasonable 

 to suppose that a bushel and a half of seed-Wheat may be 

 made to absorb a pound of saline matter. This appears, 

 indeed, to be only a very small quantity, and yet, if 

 absorbed, it would add one half more to that which the 

 seed naturally contains. We cannot pron nee befi re- 

 hand, with absolute certainty, that by this absorption the 

 growth of the seed would he greatly promoted, though 

 both theory and practice concur in rendering it probable. 

 Thus the experiments of Bickes— whose mode of pre- 

 paring seeds appears to be a simple steeping in saline 

 solutions — sppear decisive in favour of the opinion, that 

 such artificial additions to the laline matter of these do 

 really, in some cases at least, greatly promote the growth 

 of the seeds, and increase the luxuriance and produce of the 

 after crops. Further, we know that some seeds germinate 

 much more readily and certainly than others. We know, 

 also, that the proportion of inorganic matter, or of ash 

 they leave when burned, varies in different samples of 

 seeds of the same kind. That contained by Wheat, for 

 example, is sometimes 1$, sometimes If, and sometimes 

 nearly 2 per cent, of its weight. Can this difference in 

 the growth of seed and the difference iu the proportion of 

 saline matter have any connection with each other ? Do 

 some germinate feebly, do others fail entirely, because 

 t y contain too small a proportion of the usual saline 

 constituents of the seed ? Would they germinate better 

 if more were by some means given to the seed ? The 

 tame experiments of Bickes, upon the effect of steeping, 

 seem almost to answer the?e questions in the affirmative. 

 —Professor Johnston, in the Journal of Agriculture. 



i, IRPRVBftt' OH BO NIC LI AVtt AC*l I GAXBTTB. — 



i „._ Thank* for *nor letter. We do not differ much in 



oar opinion on the subject of It. 

 (jold or PtaASua*.— B. C. f— We hare never cultivated this 

 plant, bat will gather up for you what we can about it from 



others. 



BASS Baane..— J. R -In some seasons the Barley is a pro- 

 tection t»> the young Clovers and Grasses sown with it, and it 

 is very rarely that the h jury a . ich insome eases may be done 

 by greater than the value of the crop fully compensates 



When the winter is not generally severe it is a good plan 

 to feed ynong Clover off in a I nan, but this practice is said to 

 be injurious where it is succeed*. 4 by sharp frost. 



How to Di»Tnor Moss isGsaim-and — M.— Manure the land 

 well in autumn with a good coating of rich, well-made farm- 

 yard dur g, and feed the Grass off with sheep. This Is better 

 than lime will ace areas srtven in" Sprengal on Inorga- 



nic Manures, No. Ill Agricultural Gazette, why yon should 

 mix lime with earth previously to applying it on laud which is 

 not very r ch In vegetable matter. 



Jamaica Aoaicti.Tcaa.-J Jamaica Planter.— Will you allow us 



to look at these papers? We should not like to insert articles 

 having no bea z upon British farming. 



M uaas.— J. B. //.— It is dangerous to apply guano imme- 

 diately to a crop. It is uctti r to mix it with ashes or earth be- 

 fore it Is spread over Grass. If, however, the labour of carting 

 comes in your way, try sowing it broadcast, as you propose, 

 dating wet weather. We do not understand how, In the case 

 of animals chewing the end, Beans could pass through them 



w ecially when they had been previously soaked. 



Trrfoit. -Noil : beats good farmyard dung. Guano is next 

 best, applied ; e rate of 3 cwt. per acre. Mix it well with 

 Soil before applying it. 



Ma o Os ass Lavd.— Medicus Ashburtoniensis.— Tou had 



better mix the contents of the pits you allude to with fresh 

 mould, in order to give the matter a form in which you can 



your land. It may be applied after the rate of 20 or 

 30 bushels an acre. The Guano must either be mixed in the 

 same way before spreading <>ver your grass land, or it must be 

 applied during wet weather; 2 cwt. an acre is a sufficient 

 quantity. 



R i no Pi os.— F.— Your question, and all others having refcr- 

 enccto vet* ary or', will beanswercd shortly. 



Salt am- IAMB.— J Sub—rlber .— Mix I, or al most 2 cwt., of 

 salt with the quantity of lime you intend to put on an acre, and 

 spread i m the usual way. (Sec " Johnson on Ferti- 



liser*." JA do not know personally of any case in which it 

 has be< u Tried, although there arc many published testimonies 

 to its value as manure. 



Sawdust as Mancak.— £,*. B.— It m her be mixed with 



far mannre, and so used as a compost, or, what would 



be better where It is produced in such large quantities, it must 

 be burnt, and its ashes used as manure. It would do very well 

 as manure if soaked with urine from the tank. 



!■ art rr- inniw.-»i Subscriber.— We have at this moment 



200 sheep which have been treated, as described in our Leader 

 No. a, Agricultural Gazette, since October last, whose feet 

 have been, and are now perfectly sound. We have other 

 which have become lame since they were brought under 

 shelter, but probably tin is owing to a previous tendency to 

 foot-rot. It is a bad plan to tie the sheep up all together, and 

 the manure should be removed from under them periodically— 



say once a fortnight. 



Soils.— J. Marshall.— If you arc not desirous of an immediat 

 answer, we shall endeavour to give you one, perhaps by next 

 Gaxett but if you are, you must put the matter In the hands 

 of a Chemist, who will analyse the specimens for you. 

 jfhbns' Boo* or TiiK Farm.— A Subscriber.— 1 he prolixity 

 of certain periodical works, this among the number, is certainly 

 blameworthy. You will see our opinion of it in No. 3, Agri- 

 cultural Gazette. 



Swkurs ron Sbbp.— r. W, n'.— You had better break off the 

 sprouts that are appearing now, for if you do not, even though 

 the frost si Id spare them, they will come to blossom at an 

 unseasonable time. 

 *„* As nsnal many communications have been received too late 



for answering this week. 



Notice* to < respondents. 



Our Corr«svondbwtr will oblige us by not mixing togeUn 

 Agricultural and Horticultural questions, and by writing them 

 «n one side of the paper only. Such precautions can give them 

 no trouble, and will save us a great deal. 

 Communications from the following Corrkspondsxts are in 

 type and are only waiting till room can be found for them :— 

 T. E., Martin Doyle, Patrick Clap, sV. B. G., and J. Rivers. 



Bow** and Muriatic Acid.— A X Qtliaghtxmshire Subscriber.— 

 Digest the bones in one half their weight of muriatic acid 

 diluted with an equal weight of water. The application of heat 

 to facilitRte the action will not injure it as a manure. 



Bonks and Sulphuric Acid.— A Subscriber's request has been 

 forwarded to Mr. Lawes. 



Burthrnson Fvclisb Farmkrs.— An Inquirer. — It is difficult 

 to discuss such a subject aa that you refer to in a manner free 

 from such party spirit as must not be allowed in onr columns. 

 If, however, we can obtain a true and detailed statement in 

 answer to your question, we shall publish it for i. 



Ct'TTiNo Tt'BNtfs for Shkrv.— E. W. will find information 

 on this subject in p. 16, of the English Agricultural Society's 

 Journal, vol. i. The extract is too long to insert. We believe 

 that Gardiner's Turnip Cutter la as efficient au implement as 

 any of its class. 



Drills for Bra Avn Manpss — Agrieola.— Your first letter 

 must have miscarried. We have only received your second} 

 and, in answer to it, we know no better drill than those 

 made by Mr. Hornsby, of Grantham. Lincolnshire, who manu- 

 factures them to sow all kinds of seed with manure. Netth 

 must be dng out and Thistles drawn. TheTe is no way of des- 

 troying weeds but perseverance in destroying their leave sand 

 digging out their roots. 



Earlv Potatoes.— J. M'L., IHUs wf A. —Shaw's Early, and 

 Prince's Early, are two early varieties suitable for field culture. 

 The Gold- finder is also a good sort.

Although the numbers ate to-day considerably less than last Monday, we 

 cannot observe any improvement in the trade. The demand is very limited— 

 partly accounted tor by the large arrivals of packed meat to the dead markets : 

 the weather being, on the wl . pretty favourable for it, and being sold at a 



heaper rate, the butchers have bought more largely dead, nd, consequently, 

 less ali»e- There is no quotable difference in Beef. Aa Half bred Sheep from

COVENT GARDEN, Jan. 26.— In consequence of the 

 tinued fine weather the market has been well supplied ««* 

 the week, but trade still remains dull. Pine Apples arc j^taj 

 scarcer ; they are selling at nearly the same prices as last 

 Hothouse Grapes are very scarce, but Portugals are 

 tor the demand. Among Apples we noticed the Golden Hm, 

 and good specimens of Blenheim Oraugc. Samples of *~ 

 Uance and Easter Beurre Pears, in addition to those mi 

 in a previous report, have been brought to the market 

 the week. A few Sangarine Oranges have made their 

 ance iu the market. Lemons are plentiful, and Filberts 

 sufficient for the demand. Vegetables generally are 

 Cabbages arc good and plentiful. Brussels Sprouts and One 

 are abundant, but Broccoli is rather scarce. SeaklltB 

 Rhubarb, of good quality, are sufficient to meet the 

 Parsley is offered at the same prices as last week. As 

 continues scarce. Endive is plentiful, and Shallots arc 

 the demand. Celery is rather inferior in quality. Cot 

 chiefly consist of Erica gracilis and hyemalis, Bignonia 



uphoibia jacquiniflora, Azalea indica alba and bmithii, 

 Ua pulcherrima, Pelargoniums, Primulas, Acacias, C 

 Chrysanthemums, and Roses.
