WEEDING,

to load your garden, year after year, with muck ; 
which will give the produce a rank taste; to prevent 
which use marl, fresh soil, lime, &c. alternately, and 
dung more sparingly. 
Mr. Lechmere, Dec. 1807, is top-dressing his grazing 
pastures at the Ryd, with rich manure, made by his 
stall-feeding cattle, fed with hay and oil cake: as little 
ploughing is done here, the dung is not over propor¬ 
tioned with straw, and having undergone sufficient fer¬ 
mentation, must be highly fertilizing to the land, and 
increase its produce of grass, as well as improve its 
4. WEEDING. 
The drill husbandry being a good deal practised in 
this country, gives a good opportunity, between the 
rows of grain, of cutting up weeds oy the root without 
injuring the grain, which is one ot the advantages of this 
practice; in broadcast sowing they are generally only 
cut above ground, and thus only weakened, or par¬ 
tially destroyed. 
Every good farmer will cut off, or root up, the docks, 
thistles, and other luxuriant weeds, which infest his pas¬ 
ture land, and this should always be done before their 
seeds are perfected, as thereby a great increase of these 
noxious plants may probably be prevented. 
Examined the weeds in a pea-stubble near Evesham, 
and found corn chamomile (anthemis arvensis), bind¬ 
weed (convolvulus arvensis), chickweed (alsine media), 
groundsel (senecio vulgaris), beavbind (polygonum con-, 
yolvulus), and common thistle (serratula arvensis). Mr.
