 gravel of which the path is at present made from the loam which 



is mixed with it, and to every part of clean gravel add one of sharp

 land Cement, and incorporate the whole * ell in the dr ate before 

 applying the water. It may then be laid on 2 inches thick Anv 

 labourer can mix and spread it. No tool is required beyond the 

 spade, and in 4S hours it becomes as hard as a rock. V ation 

 cannot grow through or upon it, and it resists the action of the 

 severest frost. It is necessary, as water does not soak through it, 

 to give a fall from the middle of the path towards the sides.

There is probably never any case of agricultural 

 improvement so well defined that the contrast be- 

 tween the past and present conditions of the land 

 shall exhibit the influence of but one particular 

 source of infertility apart from others. Many causes 

 conspire no doubt to every result we see in Nature ; 

 but in most instances some one cause preponderates; 

 and our cases may be classified according to the 

 preponderating influences which they respectively 

 illustrate, so as to bring out the effects respectively 

 of climate and of soil, of drainage and manuring, 

 and of the other means of fertility that may be 



enumerated. 

 Our first case 



of 



a successful compromise 

 all the farmer can accom- 



one 



with climate, for that is 



plish — has been already referred to in our columns. 

 Of course the individual cultivator cannot alter 

 climate, but he can render the soil less liable to its 

 severity and more open to what is good in it. and 

 he can 'with his altered soil select crops for cultiva- 

 tion which shall turn the possibilities of his case to 

 a better account than is attained by the natural vege-

 so thickly as to occupy most of the ground, were 

 an immense number of blocks of this rock either 

 partly imbedded or lying loose upon the surface. 

 A very wet climate, both as regards quantity of rain 

 and number of rainy days per annum, seemed to 

 forbid the attempt to grow anything but the Grasses, 

 Sedges, and Rushes which with Heather and with 

 rocks made up the acreage of the estate. Since 1847 

 these rocks have been removed, piled up in enormous
