[Apr. 27, 



of importance to the ammonia. For the proportions iu ] 

 the different samples he referred to the Table. They 

 would see therefore that guano contained almost all that 

 was essential to constitute a perfect manure. The lecturer 

 then alluded briefly to the importance of thus having 

 concentrated in one manure so many substances which 

 the soil was likely to need, and be benefited by. He 

 would now briefly point out the analogy which existed in 

 the connexion between bones and guano. Some might 

 ask, would guano benefit the after crops? This had been 

 xlone by bones. Then, if bones had improved the after 

 crops, guano should do the same thing ; for phosphate of 

 lime constituted a large portion of the one, and it was a 

 valuable ingredient in the other. They had also salts 

 *nd soda in each. They had the cartilage in bones which 

 produced the nitrogen, and this was represented by the 

 ammonia of the guano. There was this difference in favour 

 of the guano, that when it was applied to the soil the am- 

 monia was ready made, and immediately exerted a bene- 

 ficial influence on the roots of the plant; but in the case 

 of bones they had to decompose before the ammonia was 

 *et free for the uses of vegetation. The manures, therefore, 

 might often be mixed with benefit— the guano for the pur- 

 pose of acting immediately, and the bones for exerting 

 their influence after it. He would briefly allude to one 

 most important quality which it possessed, viz., its extreme 

 portability. It appeared that from 4 to 6 cwt. per acre 

 might be safely put in if guano was used alone, and this 

 in fertilising powers would be equivalent to 40 or 50 loads 

 of farm-yard dung. Suppose, therefore, that there was a 

 tract of country, which it was impossible to traverse but 

 by means of mules, they would be enabled to fertilise it by 

 guano, when it was impossible to approach it with such a 

 bulky article as farm-yard manure. They had already seen 

 this exemplified in the case of bones to a considerable 

 extent in this country. They had brought a large tract 

 of land into cultivation in the wolds of Yorkshire and of 

 Lincolnshire, where the bones were carried to the tops of 

 the hills, and clothed them with vegetation. But guano 

 was Btill more easily carried inland than bones, and when 

 once obtained it was a much more perfect manure. It 

 would have another effect. It would enable the farmer to 

 apply large portions of his farm-yard manure to spots 

 which were easily accessible, and be the means of reducing 

 the price of every other kind of manure, in the same way 

 as had already been done with rape-dust, bones, &c. In 

 fact, the introduction of guano was creating quite a sensa- 

 tion in large towns, such as Edinburgh and Glasgow, from 

 the vast reduction which it would effect in the price of the 

 street manure, and the falling off in which would render 

 the imposition of an additional assessment necessary. In 

 Edinburgh in the course of the present year the assessment 

 was expected to be 1700/. more than last year, solely on 

 account of the difference in price of the street-dung. 

 He would conclude with one important point, — 

 "Was it proper to use guano alone ? Would it be good 

 husbandry? He did not think so; and though he had 

 not time to enter into all the reasons for this opinion, he 

 might state that guano did not supply all the substances 

 of farm-yard matter any more than bones did. It would 

 not, therefore, be safe to recommend farmers to use it 

 alone. This year they might get a good crop by its means 

 alone ; but if continued alone, it would tell by and by, 

 particularly on the soils which were poor in what was 

 termed vegetable matter. Therefore, he would consider 

 it the best husbandry to recommend a course similar to 

 that which had been generally employed in the using of 

 bones. This had been to raise one crop by means of bones, 

 and the next by means of farm-yard manure, or to use 

 them half and half. He would think it safer, therefore, to 

 recommend that guano should be used half-and-half with 

 farm-yard manure, or that they should be used alternately.

the erowth of horses' beards and moustaches to the juice, or 

 to the prickles of the Gorse; for he thinks it probahle that, 

 unless it was well bruised, it acted more on the principle of a 

 penetrating hair-brush than on that of Macassar Oil. 



Guano.— Dianthus.— See this week's Home Correspondence. 

 Sow, in the manner you propose, after the rate of 3 cwt. per 



acre of the insoluble matter of the guano. S. F. W.— Though, 



for obvious reasons, we cannot undertake to analyse your 

 specimen, yet from its weight, earthy appearance, &c, we 

 should judge it to be much adulterated. 



Horsk-dung. — Subscriber.— You will preserve it better by 

 mixing it with vegetable mould, and covering with the same, 

 than with oak sawdust; if the latter is used you, will succeed 

 better with that which is rotten than with that which is fresh. 



Limb-watkr— Z.— Cold water will dissolve more lime than hot 

 water ; yet 70 gallons of cold water will only dissolve 1 lb. of 

 caustic lime. You had better put a good many pounds into 

 your hogshead, stirabout for some minutes, wait till it set- 

 tles, and then pour the clear lime-water off. Horse-dung is 

 generally a more powerful manure than that of cows, because 

 horses get better food. Aoply it in the solid state, or mixed 

 with earth. If you particularly wish to try a decoction of it, 

 put a bushel of either into a hogshead of water for that purpose. 



Liquid Manure.— Z — Put one pound of the superphosphate of 

 lime into a gallon of water, and continue using water till the 

 greater part is dissolved. What remains is gypsum. 



Lucerne.— J. H.— Please to send a specimen. You had better 

 cut it down as soon as possible for a good seed crop from the 

 second shoot j but you would do better in taking seed from the 



first shoot. 



Manure.— Meliboeus.— If your land is not already calcareous, 

 it will pay you to apply lime. After that you may entertain 

 the question— What is the most economical manure ? Guano 

 is one of the cheapest and best manures. Lime or eruano is 

 not a reasonable alternative. They depend for their efficiency 

 on altogether different circumstances. Your Turnips will need 

 food such as guano would supply them with. 



Oilcake.— Subscriber.— Crush it into pieces about the size of 

 lump-sugar for cattle, and rather smaller for sheep. Much 

 preparation of food is not required by animals that che wthe cud. 



Old Mortar.— Patrick.— Soot and old lime willnot act on each 

 other, but each may be usefully applied. Apply after the rate 

 of 30 bushels of soot per acre, and apply all the old mortar you 

 have on your land, if it be pounded small, up to the rate of 

 100 bushels per acre. You may mix them or not, just as you 

 please. 



Pea.— S. G.— We do not know the variety. Its leaf resembles that 

 of a field variety common in some parts of Scotland. 



Points of Milch Cow.— G. would be greatly obliged to our 

 Guernsey correspondent for information as to where he may 

 meet with a cow for sale, such as he described in this Paper 

 some weeks ago, and as to the probable cost of such a cow. 

 We have made fruitless inquiries after the pamphlet you allude 

 to. What is the name of its author ? 



Potatoes.— Delta.— De Rohan is not the best variety for pigs. 

 The Irish White Apple is better. We know of no case in which 

 gypsum has been used as manure for Potatoes. In the instance 

 you refer to, its application appears to have been most bsne- 



ficial. 

 Rkfuse Bark.— J. L.—If rotten it is not injurious. We have 

 used, with most beneficial effect, about 10 cart-loads an 

 acre of it, after mixing it with an equal quantity of yard 

 manure, and soaking it with liquid manure. 



Stall-fbkdino.— W. J. B.— Your wish shall be attended to. 



Steeped Wheat.— J. R.— Thank you. 



Transplanting Swedes.— J. L. would be obliged to our corre- 

 spondent on this subject in the Paper of March 30th f for 

 information about the application of guano to young Swede 

 plants. We think he had better mix it thoroughly with the 

 soil by cultivation, before planting. 



Weeds.— Alpha.— Coltsfoot will ultimately disappear if you per- 

 severingly destroy flowers and leaves whenever they appear. 

 The same remedy is effectual, though not so speedily, with the 



Nettle. You had better use the fork and dig the roots up. 



Querist. — Your specimen is Luzula campestris. If your land 

 is thoroughly drained, the other Grasses in the pasture should 

 ultimately get the better of it. If they do not, and there is 

 much of it in the Grass, your only remedy is to break it up, 

 fallow, and lay it down again. 



Whkat among Vetchks.— M. Sayer.—We shall insert your 

 notice as soon as there is room. Under the circumstances, you 

 had better use the crop, we think, as one of Vetches, and feed 

 it off; if your advice had been followed early in March you 

 might have had a good crop of Wheat. 



Erratum . — In the paper on the Rot in Potatoes (page 234, col. c. f 

 line 6 from top), by Mr. Alb. Bernays, Manchester, an error 

 has been printed ; it should have been said—** Care should be 

 taken to set only those with healthy eyes, not with sprouts." 



*»* As usual, many communications have been received too late. 



v> 



Notices to Correspondents. 



Burnt Clay. — H. P. T.— Application has been made to the So- 

 ciety for the communication to which you refer. 



Barley Sowing. — Querist.— It is not necessary to reduce the 

 land to a very fine tilth. If the ground is hard you may harrow 

 both before and after sowing Clover-seed among Wheat; if it 

 is soft, once harrowing after sowing, followed by the roller, 

 will suffice. 



Couch, Sec. — A. O. — Try if alternate layers of quicklime and 

 couch will rot together. Cover the heap over with vegetable- 

 mould. 



Dairy Management.— J. B. asks any of our readers if they have 

 had any experience of the utility of the new curd-mills, as to 

 whether they get rid of the whey as thoroughly as the old plan 

 of squeezing by hand? also whether there has been time to 

 prove if Mackintosh's rick-cloths, as advertised, are superior, 

 as well as cheaper than Richardson's or Edgington's, and 

 which of these it would be right for him to purchase, his 

 climate being wet ? 



Draining, &c— T. T. H.— From the appearance of your speci- 

 men, we suppose your soil to be adhesive ; if it is so in great 

 degree your drains should be at most one perch, i. e. t l6£ feet 

 apart ; but it is impossible to advise in this matter merely from 

 the inspection of a specimen of the soil. If your land is a 

 loamy clay, not very stiff, 24 feet mav be near enough, but 

 we have, within the last five years, 'put in, on one farm, 

 about 100 miles of drains, none of them in very stiff land, 

 and they are all only one perch apart. Mind and subsoil- 

 plough your land when it is dry, or you will do it no good. 

 The stone will do very well to fill in the drains; and if the 

 ■quarry is close by you, stone will be much cheaper than tile 

 drainage. The price of tiles varies much in different parts of 

 the kingdom. Apply to the nearest factories for information 

 on this subject, and compare it with information you may 

 obtain on application to Mr. Sealey, Bridgewater, Messrs. 

 Etheridge, Southampton, &c. The two ploughs, in preparing 

 land for Mangold Wurzel, merely rib the land— they do not 

 plough it. Was not this sufficiently explained in our article on 

 the subject? We then spoke from experience. We shall be 

 glad to purchase your vol. for 1842 ; please to state its price. 



Food of Plants.— J. W. Lloyd.— Perhaps Dr. Smith's articles in 

 our last Paper may assist you. We do not understand your 

 question. 



Gokse.— To^or wishes to know whether "F. Davies" attributes

The supply of Beasts to-dayis small, but trade is dull, and there is a diffi- 

 culty in supporting our quotntions of last week, although it is done for the 

 very best qualities. Many of the second-class Beasts make fully 2d per 8 lbs 

 less than last Monday. Mutton is a little more plentiful, but the late short 

 markets having produced a clearance of meat in Town, the demand is quite 

 equal to the supply. We notice a decline in price of Sheep in the wool and 

 large fat shorn Sheep, attributable to the warm weather. Selling shorn Sheep 

 remain about the same. Lamb is in demand, at rather lower prices, but no 



quotable difference : we notice a deficiency of good quality. Veal and Pork 

 remain steady. 



Friday, April 26. 



The trade to-day wa3 rather lower than Monday, in consequence of the sup. 

 ply being large, and there being many Beasts trom Scotland in the market

Thk supply during the past week and. those left of former arrivals'were 

 morethan sufficient for the demand. Several cargoes have been stored ; some 

 inferior samples not saleable in the present market, and the holders of others 

 wanted higher prices. There continues to be a quantity of Potatoes brought 

 into this market by railways. Our late' quotations have caused many small 

 lots to be shipped trom districts not usually supplying this market. Some 

 more cargoes have arrived from Holland, Belgium, and Ireland, and are sell-
