Imj^rovement of Peaty Ground. 



These are the principal rules which I have learnt from prac- 

 tical farmers for the manao^ement of peaty ground, and which in 

 their hands have answered. Other rules will probably be re- 

 quired for peat of different districts; in these and in most im- 

 provements, I am sure that, for many reasons, every land-owner 

 who is desirous of introducing new practices will be more likely 

 to attain his object, as well as to save useless expenditure, if in 

 endeavouring to carry them out he consults the judgment of 

 intelligent farmers conversant with the land on which he is de- 

 sirous to operate.
