farmer ought to have-a SYsTEM of manlage
meat: and the regular, daily increase of the
manure heap should form an inseperable
part of that system. But as there are at
present, few who do thiis, we would earnest
ly recommend to all, its'their crops are
now 'laid by,' to commence, immediately;
collecting materials and:smaking manure.
Let each one try howv much lie chn have

'vvhere they are needed; haul up from
the places wvhere it has been carried 'by
washing, all the rich beds of earth that are
accessible, rich mud from the swampe,
leaves fromu the wvoods, pine straw from the
old fichds, scrapings fromn the corners of'
the fences, &c. Mix these _with your
weceds and husheus, in heaps in your fields,
