Overview

Excerpt from An Address Before the Hampshire, Franklin, and Hampden Agricultural Society: Delivered in Greenfield, Oct. 23, 1833 In the next place almost every farm furnishes in some bog hole or reservoir valuable materials for compost manure, which if carefully conveyed to the styes and yards to be worked over and made to absorb the liquids which are there float ing, will turn to great advantage. The conveyance of com mon dirt other than sufficient for this absorbing purpose will not pay the labor of transportation; for the manure may as well be mixed with it in the field as in the barn yard, and the labor of carting be saved. In some parts of the country, as for example in Bernardston, where the soil is cold and hungry, there are extensive depositories of peat mud, which, where properly managed, and made to undergo a fermentation by the intermixture of horse manure, a process well known to intelli gent farmers, and by the discovery of which the name of an English nobleman has been immortalised, will yield a valuable manure, precisely suited to the Soils among which it is found.
