produce any disagreeable odour. In the south of Europe it is 

 sown in April or May, and is sometimes ready in less than 

 three monti-s, so that it is one uf the quickest-growing <>f the 

 oleaginous plants. The seeds are sown thin, and the plants 

 hoed, if too thick. It is pulled or cut, and laid in a covered 

 place, to complete the ripening and dr> tag of the seed**. These 

 being then freed from the stalks, by beating, are winnowed, 

 dried, and bruised/'— Professor Law's Element* 0/ 1'ructical 

 Agriculture. 



Gorsk.— J. B. iV.— Old bushes must be cut or burnt down, and 

 the young sprouts used as food. 



Guano roR Potatoks.— H. T H. — See our answer to A Young 

 Rural, If your land is in anything like good condition, you 

 may expect a good crop of Oats after the Potatoes; but you 

 should aim to get your crops, and especially your graiu-ernps, 

 to depend a good deal upon the general couditiou of the laud, 

 rather than upon the particular manuring ot the year. 



Inorganic Constititbnts of thm Onion Tribb.— T. Price.— 

 We have been mtormed, since last week, of an analysis o( the 

 Onion performed by Fourcroy and Vauquelin. A large quan- 

 tity of uncrystallizable sugar was found in recent Onion 

 juice, together with mucilage and the phosphate and nitrate of 



lime. 



Liquid Manurb.- S. L. B.-Apply liquid manure to Grass in 

 April, and to growing crops of roots or Cora in the early 

 stages of their growth. 



Malting Barlky- J. B. N. recommends the trial of chloride 

 of lime in solution, a» a steep for Barley, to force on the sprout- 

 ing. It would have this effect, but we doubt whether it would 

 not at the same time injure the Malt. 



Maxuhk*.- Villager.— Nothing is better than good and well- 

 made farm-yard manure j apply it at the rate of 20 cubic yards 



an acre; plough or dig it iu. Carlcsgitl.— Differences in the 



effects which follow apparently similar applications cannot be 

 accounted for except by one who knows accurately the com- 

 position of the soils on which they were made, &c. The imme- 

 diate contact of lime will injure the action of the guano by so 

 much as that action depends upon the presence of salts of 

 ammonia, for lime will displace ammonia trom any of its salts 

 and volatilise it. And to this probably the difference between 

 you and your neighbours in your experience of guano is 

 owing. We believe urate is made by soaking gypsum in the 



water of the stable! and feeding stalls. A Young Rural.— 



Smithy asheaare hardly worth going for; they maj, however, 

 be usefully applied to strong land. They are not worth more 

 than It. per cart-load. Tanners' baik ? when burnt, makes 

 food wood-ashes, and it is then lit to mix with guano for a 

 Potato-crop; but we should prefer soaking the rotten tan 

 with liquid manure, and then mixing 3 cwt. of guano with 10 

 cart-loads of it as a manuring, in the ordinary way per acre, 

 for Potatoes. 6rf. per bushel is a fair price for soot, and the 

 same for wood-ashes. Two of soil and one of guawo would 

 make a good mixture, but try rotten bark soaked with urine, 

 instead of earth. You should have applied your guano to the 

 Turnips before the Barley, ami these should have been eaten off 

 with sheep ; you would then have been sure both of Barley 

 and seeds. As it is, if your laud is in good order, you may de- 

 pend upon the guano for the seeds. We shall give an account 

 of ihe cultivation of the Parsnep before the season lor sowing it. 



Markkts.— G. C. /i.-We are much obliged by your anxiety to 

 set us right on this subject— correctness in market reports is of 

 first importance to an Agricultural paper; but to show you that 

 precise accuracy in the actual prices quoted is not of so much 

 importance as accuracy in describing the general state of the 

 markets, as to whether prices are falling or rising, we may men- 

 tion that within the past fortnight we have sold nearly 100 

 quarters of good white Wheat, averaging 61 lbs. a bushel, at 

 49#. This is 100 miles from London, and probably the majority 

 of our leaders are at a still greater distance, where prices, 

 though they may rise and fall With those of Mark-Une, as they 

 do here, are even less likely to resemble them in actual amount. 

 Do not infer from these remarks that we are not fully anxious 

 to report the Markets correctly. We cannot suppose that 

 Messrs. Kiugford and Lay would append their names to an 

 inaccurate statement; mistakes may, however, have been 

 accidentally made in it, and we shall communicate with those 

 gentlemen on the subject. With regard to the publication of a 

 Farming Calendar, we shall endeavour to supply its place, 

 this year, at any rate, by making our Leader have a general 

 bearing upon the operations or the season. 



Mineral Mamks.— John W.Lloyd. — We have seen your analy- 

 sis before, published in the Derbyshire Courier. If you were to 

 take a specimen of any ordinary soil, you would find on analysis 

 that it conrained all the ingredients mentioned as existing in 

 your rock, and the most valuable of those ingredients in larger 

 quantity. Is the soil above this rock extraordinarily fertile ? 

 It mu-t be so, if your theory is correct. Our opinion is, that 

 your land would not benefit much by an application of it, 

 though ground to a powder. We shall return to this subject at 



greater length hereafter. 



Plants for Ploughing in as Manurs. — L.Stephenson. — We 

 can recommend nothing better for this purpose than the 

 common Tare or Vetch. It is commonly used in this way here, 

 by poor people, as a substitute for manure in their gardens. 

 They obtain seed from those who have been accustomed to 

 sow it early in autumn. You had better obtain some which 

 has thus acquired hardiness and a habit of early growth ; and 

 if you sow early, you may dig or plough it in by the 1st of May. 



Potatoks.— J. H. H.— Farm-yard manure is most likely to be 

 the best application, because it is the most compound of any. 

 An analysis of the soil is not likely to be sufficiently delicate 

 to point out the deficiency. If the land is tired < f Potatoes, you 

 should grow other crops on it for a while. The tubers con- 

 tain in 100,000 parts, 390 of potash, 334 of soda, 3;i ot lime, 32 

 of magnesia, 5 of alumina, 2% of iron, 8§ of silica, 54 of sulphuric 

 and 40 of phosphoric acids, 154 of chlorine, 37 of azote, and 

 A9.006 of water and carbon (Sprengel). We do not know any 

 analysis of the leaves. 



Salt and Soot.— J Subscriber.— The usefulness of salt as a 

 manure depends on your soil being destitute of it. If you are 

 in an inland situation, 1 cwt. per acre may be beneficially 

 applied. Try it mixed with the manure in your compost heap. 

 30 or 40 bushels of soot per acre is the usual application. 

 Crosskiirs clodcrusher is stated by some of the writers in the 

 current No. of the "English Agricultural Society's Journal," 

 to prevent the ravages of the wireworm ; we have noexpeiience 

 on this subject ourselves. No previous steeping of seeds will 

 ensure the safety of the plant, 



-Stkbpin^Smds.— iiusfic/w.— See answer to your question above. 

 It will answer very well to soak earth, sawdust, refuse bark of 

 thetanyard, &c, with the solution of superphosphate of lime. 

 — — Gentleman Farmer.— We hope to hear from Mr. Campbell 

 on this subject shortly, and will then answer you fully. Mean- 

 while, we think Oats should be soaked as long as Whea r , 

 Tnrnip-seed as long as Clover, Mangold- Wurtzel 24 hours; 

 Beans, Peas, and Tares, at least 48 hours ; but you can try 

 this in a wine-glass yourself some days before you sow in the 

 field, stopping the soaking when the seed begins to swe 1. 

 100 lbs. of Wheat will take up 3 or 4 lb-*, of any salt in a suffi- 

 ciently strong solution. A bushel of Wheat, weighing 60 lbs , 

 will only take up 2 or 3 lbs. In order, however, to be sure 

 that you have enough, take 5 lbs. of the aalt, and dissolve it in 

 such a quantity of water as will perfectly cover the seed, and 

 then place the bushel of seed in it. The •• exact neutralisa- 

 tion" of the acid, by adding to it a carbonate of any alkali, takes 

 place, when, without an excess of the carbonate, the acid no 

 longer reddens apiece of litmus paper. The substance in fcolu- 

 tion thus formed is then a neutral salt. You had better sow as 

 soonas possible after steeping the seed ; if dried at all, as it will 

 need to be if you drill the seed, it must be by the simple action 

 of sun and air, but it can be heed in though wet. Our landwiU 



I not be ready for some time, and ks the Wheat will be sown in 

 spring, we shall hoe one bushel in on half an acre of ground. 

 Had it been done in autumn, l£ bushels per acre would have been 

 plenty. We shall adopt your suggestion about the mineral 

 constituents of plants. 

 Si/BsoiuNc.— J* IF.— You were right in subsoilin* light gravelly 

 Turnip land; you will probably he benefited by it, ill the 

 greater depth of active soil you will thus ultimately obtain, 

 and in the greater independence of dry weather which you 

 have thus obtained for plants growing on it. Guano will likely 

 suit your laud, and perhaps your best way will be to sow 2 cwi. 

 of it per acre over the growing Wheat, just before you hoe it 

 in spring; but on a light soil you ought to make enough 

 manure on your own farm, without going elsewhere for it. 

 Bog-earth will act both chemically and mechanically in retain, 

 ing the volatile ingredients of your manure. The addition of 

 salt will not impair this action, and it may perhaps be useful 

 on its own account, letting alone its efficiency as a fixer of 

 ammonia. For answer about the steeping of seeds, see above 



on that subject. 

 Sulphuric Acuk— Bosks.— White.— Wc informed an anony- 

 mous correspondent last week that sulphuric acid costs from 

 l^rf. to 2d. per lb. We have since been informed that it may be 

 obtained in any quantity from Gibbs* Chemical Works, Bristol, 

 at \d. per lb. To any weight of bone-dust add three-fourths 

 that weight of sulphuric acid diluted with its weight of water; 

 let the two act on one another for a day, and then mix it all 

 up together with a lot of dry earth, and apply at the rate of 

 about four bushels of the bone-dust per acre. A simple way of 

 estimating the proportion in which the chief elements of the 

 soil stand to one another is to be found in Mr. Rham's paper 

 on the subject, in the English Agricultural Society's Journal, 

 from which we extract the following:— "Take a glass tube 

 2 of an inch in internal diameter, and 3 feet long; fit a cork 

 into one end, and set it upright j fill it half Cull of pure water ; 

 take nearly as much water as has been poured into the tube, 

 and mix with it the portion of s->il which is to be examined, 

 in quantity not more than will occupy 6 inches of the tube, and 

 let it stand in a corner of a room, or support it upright in any 

 way. In half an hour it may he examined. The earths will have 

 been deposited according to the size and specific gravity of their 

 particles. The portion still suspended In the water may be 

 allowed to settle; and there will appear in the tube layers of 

 sand, clay, and humus, which may be measured by a scale, and 

 thus their proportions nearly ascertained." Manures cannot 

 be analysed in this simple manner, but means will shortly be 

 published for detecting adulterations in many of them. 

 Tastk ok Tuiimps iv Buttek.— A Ross*shire Lady.— See a 

 paragraph on this subject in our Home Correspondence. If 

 saltpetre will not effect the desired object— many say that 

 it will— there is no remedy but altering the food given to the 

 cows. Mangold Wurtzel will not affect the taste of the butter. 

 Wkkds.— S. E.— We are not aware of any publication on this 

 subject by Dr. Daubcny or Professor Henslow. A series of 

 articles on the Weeds of Agriculture will shortly appear in our 

 columns. Try sowing 1 cwt. of salt per acre over your Grass 

 land. The constituents of guano vary much in quantity in 

 different specimens. The first analysis of it was by Klaproth. 

 He tound it to consist of—

•'The word ' puano* is Peruvian, meaning- dung. It is pro- 

 nounced Huunu by the Peruvians, which the Spaniards, 

 according: to the genius of their language, spell 4 guano.' M 

 You had better make a compost with the gas- water, as already 

 described in this Paper. The refuse bark of the tan-yard will 

 do very well to soak with it. 



Wkigiit op Chops.— il/.— Twenty tons of Swedish Turnips and 

 ten tons of Potatoes may be considered good average crops in

COVENT GARDEN. Fkb. 9.— Notwithstanding the extremely 

 changeable state of the weather during the week, the market 

 has been, generally speaking, well supplied \ but trade still con- 

 tinues dull. There i.s a slight alteration in the price of Pine- 

 Apples, which consist principally of Queens and Black Jamaicas. 

 Grapes are offered at nearly the same prices as last week. Good 

 dessert Pears still continue scarce; but Apples are sufficient for 

 the demand ; they have rather advanced in price since our last 

 report. A good many foreign ones have appeared in the market 

 during the week. Oranges are good and plentiful; they have 

 diminished a little in price, being offered at Horn 6d. to Is. 6d. 

 per dozen. Lemons are plentiful, and are also a little reduced in 

 price since our last report. Chesnuts are selling at trom 3*. to 

 8s. per peck. The severe frosts have been rather unfavourable 

 to the more tender kinds of vegetable. Broccoli, however, is 

 sufficient for the demand. French Beans are slightly advanced 

 in price; Jthey Jare offered at from 3s. to 4s. Gd. per 100. Cab- 

 \ bages and Brussels Sprouts are abundant; Greens bring from 

 3s. to 4*. 6rf. per dozen. Celery has a little advanced in price, as 

 has also Endive ; the latter is offered at from Is. to 2s. 6d. per 

 score. Seakale is good in quality, but is rather scarce. Aspara- 

 gus is sufficient to meet the demand. Lettuces are selling at 

 nearly the same prices as last week. A few good Cucumbers 

 have been brought to the market during the week; they are 

 offered at from 6s. to 9s. each. Cut flowers chiefly consist of 

 Erica transparens and arborca, Euphorbiajacquiniflora, Lache- 

 nalia tricolor, Blgnonia venusta, iE'schlnar.thus grandiflorus, 

 Cypripedium venustum, Acacias, Azaleas, Rhododendrons, Ca-

On the whole, our trade to-day has an improved aspect; there is, however, 

 much disappointment in the Beast market, the moderate supply leading us to 

 expect an advance in price, which could not be generally realised- Our best 

 qualities found ready purchasers at perhaps a shad- beyond last week's state- 

 men', but nothing quotable; the Short- horns and second qualities were a heavy 

 trade at former rates. Calves remain steady. Small Porkers of good quality 

 are a little better «ale.

Friday, Feb. 9- 



There is but little variation to-day from our Monday's report. The supply 

 is short, and everything rinds a cheerful trade at about the same rates, with the 

 exception of Veal. The late high prices of this article have had the effect of 

 increasing the supply, and also of decreasing the consumption; these circum- 

 stances have called a slack demand and reduction in price, the very best 

 I lives not making any more than 5s. per 8lbs , and many of good useful quality 

 are >old at considerably le*s money. Monday and to-day we have noticed 

 several shorn Sheep, but as the present prices ot Mutton are mainly attributable 

 to Um advance in wool, they area heavy trade. The weather is much too cold 

 for shorn Sheep.

 having been rather downwards than otherwise; but a continuance of cold
