five nnd a half or six yard by single furrow Along those lines a say six tons of manure is deposited in small heaps Tho land is then plowed and tho dung arid potato sols placed in every third Three plows work each other four men having each an equal length of land place tho sets and mi equal placed carry the from tho nuro and spread it The next bout of plows covers all up and so tho work proceeds with great rapidity and expedition About a week before arc expected to como to tho land is well harrowed which loosens nnd all surface weeds subsequent working consists in arid In our plowing and dunging in the winter is out of tho question however may bo attained by plowing under u dressing manure in tho fall The land can bo crass plowed and worked fine early in tho this is the best point in process Tho com- decomposition of manure and its thorough intermixture with tho soil cannot bo recommended for ture advantage of covering tho sets with in this dry hot climate is doubtful dung
