Thepermanent improvement of land, by
theuse of earthy admixture, is a practice that Coach Online Outlet we conceive to bedeserving themore serious attention of many of our readers. This being theseason so well adapted to thecarting of these heavy dressings, we recur to thesubject as one well worthy of our present consideration. And when we say this, we do not mean to allude to thegreater use of marl and clay, or chalk (although we feel that much yet remains to bedone with these soils), but to theextended examination, practical and chemical, of thestrata of earth which Coach Diaper Bags Outlet are on very many farms to befound,
either close to or so near thesurface as to beprofitably available. That many a fertilizing stratum now lies neglected, from an ignorance of its enriching powers when spread over other strata, we need not question.It is almost within thememory of some of thefarmers of theeast of England when " thecrag" was first used in this way. It Coach Factory Outlet was not many days since, that we saw theskilful farmers of theSuffolk crag busily engaged in carting this earth on to their fine turnip and barley lands; and we could not see them thus employed without wishing that farmers from other counties could observe these operations. There is little or nothing in theappearanceof this crag (as one of their excellent ploughmen remarked to us) to indicate that there is " any good Coach Factory Outlet Online Sale in it." It is true that in thecrag obtained from many pits there are numerous small fragments of sea-shells j but, on theother hand, in theproduce of an equal number of these pits, there is nothing to all appearance but a bright Coach Outlet Online red sand—one of themost unlikely-looking dressings for a turnip soil that can well beimagined : and yet thelarge excavations on thefarms of theeastern banks of theOrwell, and other places, show pretty clearly that this course of agricultural practice is not of very recent date. This sand is evidently a grateful soil to plants ; for, on closely examining these enlarging pits, we were able to mark theconsiderable depths to which theroots of thegrasses and thewheat plant had penetrated. With such small indications, however, of possessing any " good" as a manure, we need not feel surprised that theSuffolk Coach Factory farmers slumbered for ages over theearthy treasures hidden beneath their farms. Accident, Coach Factory Outlet Online it seems—for no one thought of spreading so apparently unpromising an earth over his land—at length led to thediscovery of its powers; an occurrence which thelate Philip Pusey described, in one of his many useful papers which are to befound in Coach Diaper Bags the" Journal of theRoyal Agricultural Society." Thestory is themore worthy of abridging and inserting in our columns, because it may incite some of our readers to make careful and varied trials of thestrata of their own farms, which may look as poor Coach Factory Store and unpromising as thesand of theSuffolk crag. Theaccidental discovery arose, it seems in this way: A person was carting some of
