Experience, however, alone can prove whether the above ma- 
nures are adapted for the end proposed, and they are proposed 
therefore as subjects of experiment merely. 
Some other interesting points respecting the organic portions 
of the hop, the use of organic matters, as shoddy, rags, &c., and 
the analvses and relative values of the various manures which are 
considered beneficial to its growth, will be made public as soon 
as the necessary analyses are completed. 
XIV. — On the Advantages of One-horse Carts over Waggons. 
By P. Love. 
In treating of this subject, I believe the best way will be to begin 
with the first work that takes place on the farm, and pursue it 
through the whole year, proving the advantages of carts over 
waggons in each department of w ork. 
As manure is generally the first thing a good farmer begins to 
apply, I will begin with that. 
Four men, being the number that can get room round a cart 
to fill without being in each other's way, are the number that 
will be the most profitably employed at that work, because there 
will be the least horse-time sacrificed in standing while filling. 
To find the number of horses and drivers that are requisite to 
keep a given number of fillers employed, only requires measuring 
the distance between the heaps and field in furlongs, then multi- 
plying the furlongs by five, and dividing by the number of minutes 
occupied in fillmg a load, which w ill give the number of horses and 
drivers that will be required to keep all in full employment, but 
there must be a horse loading and one emptying, besides the 
number found by the above rule. The reason that the above 
rule will do is, a horse travelling at the rate of three miles an 
hour will go a furlong and retrace his steps in five minutes ; 
therefore multiplying the furlongs by five, gives the number of 
minutes a horse will take to go and return to be loaded again ; 
consequently the time taken for one revolution of a horse divided 
by the time taken to fill a load, will give the number of loads
