Having given you my late Father’s receipt, 
which is an excellent one, and who has been 
dead twenty-five years. In the latter part of 
his life, I have frequently heard him say, that 
he, in his opinion, could improve his Compost, 
which in my own humble opinion I think I 
have done. Probably it may be necessary to 
make, occasionally, a little change in your soil, 
as much so as it may be to change your arable 
land from one sort of grain to another. The 
goose dung and sugar-baker’s scum, from 
great practice, perseverance, and careful re- 
marks, as to the way they acted on my plants, i 
in my firm opinion are not to be sm'passed, 
and that either one or both should always be 
used, if it be possible to procure them.
