used for fuel, is to be put into these funnels, and over it 

 and between the funnels well dried sods, or any other 

 combustible materials are to be laid on to the depth of a 

 couple of feet over these sods, partially dried, to the level 

 of the walls of the kiln ; these materials being set on fire, 

 a powerful heat will be produced, quite capable of burn- 

 ing clay, without previously drying it ; care, however, 

 will be necessary, to avoid throwing it on in too great a 

 quantity at once, until the fire is well up, when a large 

 quantity may be thrown on. The sod walls are to be 

 raised as the heap rises, and as soon as it is perceived by 

 the strength of the smoke and the glow of heat that the 

 mass is ignited in all its parts, the apertures may be 

 closed up, and the kiln left to become charred ; should 

 appearances indicate a likelihood of being smothered, it 

 will only be necessary to open one or more of the fun- 

 nels to secure its acting. If the land on which the 

 burned or charred clay is to be applied be deficient in 

 calcareous matter, earth containing it, if burned, would 

 improve it much. Excellent crops of Turnips are 

 produced on indifferent land by the use of the 

 clay ashes ; and there can be scarcely a better prepara- 

 tion for Rape. There is no process in agriculture that 

 demands the farmer's closer attention and personal 

 superintendence, than burning clay ; for if well done, 

 there is no improvement so cheap, and at the same time 

 so valuable ; if on the other hand the burning is hurried, 

 or the fires neglected, the consequence will be, either 

 the clay will be burned into lumps like brick ends, that 

 will not fall to pieces when exposed to the air, or the 

 clay will not be charred, or burned at all ; therefore the 

 heat should always be slow and steady, never, if possible, 

 burning the clay red, but black— -although this is difficult 

 to manage, depending much upon the wind, stopping up 

 the apertures on the windward side, when the wind blows 

 fresh, and opening the opposite aperture, and particularly 

 attending to this. The whole time the heaps are burning 

 will take from two to three months, the time depending 

 much on the weather; from 60 to 100 yards may be 

 burned in a heap ; and if there be not sufficient sod, 

 coarse turf, bushes, &c, on the spot to keep up a suf- 

 ficient body of fire at the commencement, wood of any 



be used/'— Third Report of 

 Club. 



Alpaca in Scotland. — The 

 Alpacas arrived the latter end of August. When the 

 weather became cold, and the nights were getting long, a 

 wooden shed was erected for them in the park. At first 

 they hardly ever went into it ; but when winter com- 

 menced, I made the keeper (whom they follow like a 

 dog) put up a small rack in their shed, in which was 

 placed some Rye-grass Hay. The weather was fine, and 

 they ate very little of it ; but by and by, as winter ad- 

 vanced, they relished it better. I then o'rdered them to 

 get a few yellow Turnips, which at first they seemed to 

 like, but, tiring of them, I desired a little corn to be 

 given, which they partook of pretty freely ; but one day 

 the keeper told me they would not eat their corn, espe- 

 cially when the day was good. Having some excellent 

 Beans, I ordered the man to try them with a few. No 

 sooner did the Alpacas hear the Beans rattling in the 

 dish than they showed an eager desire to have them, and 

 during several months, preferred them to every other 

 sort of grain ; indeed, so much so, that upon some Oats 

 being intermixed with the Beans, the latter were picked 

 out and the former neglected. What is extremely satis- 

 factory is the hardiness of these animals compared to our 

 sheep, and their indefatigable perseverance in searching 

 for food, when sheep would to a certainty starve. I may 

 state that this winter, 1843-4, has proved a most severe 

 one. The park in which the Alpaca and sheep were 

 confined, was covered for nearly three weeks with snow; 

 and during that time there was not a vestige of herbage 

 to be seen, with the exception of some little green tufts 

 under the trees. The sheep required to be regularly fed 

 with Turnips and Hay. Not so the Alpacas ; they were 

 seen in the most stormy days under the trees for hours, 

 constantly eating the Grass, and never minding either 

 the cold or snow. They have never had a day's illness, 

 have never attempted to leap a fence, and are far easier 

 to keep within an inclosure than the common sheep. —

 Society.

 is another question. We have known it to contain 20 per cent, 

 of water. The value of marl depends altogether upon its com- 

 position, and frequently upon some of its smallest ingredients 

 (see Sprengel on the subject in late Nos. of this Paper). The 

 proper way to apply it is before winter, as fine as possible; when 

 spring conies it is in a state to be spread evenly and buried. It 

 may form a useful ingredient in a compost, especially if ulti- 

 mately used on a light soil. Thanks for your paper on Rooks. 

 — — J. C. asks if any of our correspondents will favour him with 

 their experience of African, Peruvian, and Bolivian guanos, also 

 of rapedust and soaper's ashes, as manures ? With reference to 

 the last, see Sprengel in this and next Papers. 

 I.vsbcis.— A.B.— I am glad you sent the insects, for they are 

 one of the best friends you have, beinp the larva? of the Lady- 

 birds, which feed entirely upon the plant-lice that are infest- 

 ing your Swedes. Vide the " Royal Agricultural Journal,*' 

 Vol. in. p. 56, and pi. c. f. J3-17. J. W. L.-Your Turnip- 

 leaves are covered with Aphides, and the larger insects 

 accused of cutting off the heads of the young Turnips are the 

 larvae of the Lady-birds, as you imagined, which live entirely 

 on plant-lice, and must not be destroyed. We will make this 

 the subject of a paper as soon as possible. R. A Leicester- 

 shire Furrner.— The flies you sent are the Aphis rapae. whose 

 history you will find in the " Royal Agricultural Journal," 



Vol. lii, p. 53. A Subscriber, Wuterford.— Your last supply 



enables us to state that your Turnips are suffering from the 

 Aphides, a vast portion of which are punctured by parasitic 

 flies. You will be interested with the history of these insects 

 given in the " Royal Agricultural Journal," vol. ii\ p. 49. R. 

 .i.vsekd as Food.— J. 6\— We had hoped to have been able, be- 

 fore this, to have published on this subject. We shall do so 

 shortly. Wheat straw, ad. lib., cut into chaff and steamed with 

 2 or 3 lbs. of Barley meal a day, would probablv answer your 

 purpose, though in this we do not speak from experience. 

 Li/ckkxk.— Subscriber.— Sow 12 lbs. of seed in rows about 1 foot 

 apart, on well and deeply-tilled ground, before the middle of 

 April. You will be able to cut it once in the autumn of that 

 year, and four or five times next year. {See Miscellaneous, 

 ho. 32 Agricultural Gazette. 

 Manure.— G.— If the analysis you give is correct, lime will benefit 

 your soil; you may safely put 150 to 200 bushels per acre on if. 

 As to the probability of muriate of soda benefiting you, this will 

 be better indicated by your distance from the seashore, than by 

 your analysis, which does not enter sufficiently into detail. If 

 you are inland, apply common salt, 1 cwt. per acre. 

 Peas.— Subscriber.— The Nimble Pea and the Early Warwick, are 



early Peas, much in favour with market-gardeners. 

 Rearing Calves, &c— W. C— The following is the way in which 

 the best Gloucestershire dairy-farmers manage:— The calf is re- 

 moved from the cow at six or eight days old, provided the dam 

 be a cow and not a heifer ; if a heifer, the calf is allowed to 

 remain about a fortnight, because a heifer is more difficult to be 

 milked, and the calf assists the milker. No difference is made 

 whether the calf be heifer, steer, or bull ; they are all reared 

 exactly in the same way. At about a week old calves are allowed 

 each two quarts of best milk twice per day : this is everything 



given till about two months old, except Hay , which they generally 

 eat well at a very early age— say three weeks. After two 

 months old they consume a good quantity of Hay, and then 

 we reduce the two quarts of milk to one, and add two quarts of 

 water, which makes a mixture of three quarts, as of course they 

 require 'more to drink, as they consume more Hay. At about 

 ten weeks old they are turned to Grass, and all the milk is 

 discontinued by degrees. The longer a calf remains with its 

 mother the more will it feel the loss when taken away. The 

 age of sixteen months is the correct time to put the heifer to 

 the bull, so that she may calve at two years old, or thereabouts. 

 This, undoubtedly is the best time for a dairy; but, should

 first calf is equally good with the second. The objection to wean- 

 ing the first calf generally arises from the heifer calving later 

 in the season than cows, which is generally the case. It is not 

 at all desirable that the heifer should suckle her first calf, except 

 for the limited period before mentioned. The heifer should be 

 made quiet for milking as soon as possible, which object is de- 

 feated by allowing the calf to suck.— E. H.

MARK-LANE, Monday, Aug. 5. 

 With a short supply of Wheat from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, 

 the market was rather better than on Monday last, and fully 

 equal to Friday; but there is no inclination to pay any advance. 

 In Foreign there was a fair retail sale for consumption, and its 

 value may be considered the same as last week.— Flour has 

 declined 3s. per sack.— Barley, both English and Foreign, is 1*. 

 lower, and Peas have receded 1*. to 2s. per qr.— In Beans there 

 is no alteration.— Oats are a very slow sale at late rates.

The weather has continued unsettled from Monday last, Dut 

 we have had scarcely any rain since Wednesday; on that day 

 there was a fair demand for Foreign Wheat, which in some 

 Instances brought an advance of fully 1*. per qr., but to-day 

 there is less doing; Factors, nevertheless, are unwilling to 

 accept the rates of our last quotations. We have had but little 

 English fresh up during the week, and observe no alteration in 

 its value.— Barley remains as last quoted, but grinding qualities 

 are rather more inquired after.— Beans and Peas are unaltered. 

 Oats are more in demand, at 6d. advance.
