Mr. Owen Sullivan referred to the ten- dency of this land to bake on the top and crack under the heat.of the sun, thus re tarding vegetation, Mr. McCabe said that his experience corresponded with that set forth in the excellent paper which he had just heard read.

Proressor SHUTTLEWORTH showed that if a clay soil be clogged, the capillary ac- ‘tion of the ground water will be checked ; the land will be cold just below the sur- face where the young roots are, and it will a bake on Lop, thus breaking the roots and ? hindering growth. Such land, he said,

In respect to some of the constituents of plants ‘the soil cannot be exhausted; but of nitrogen ‘and phosphorus and potassium it can. These elements must be returned te the soil or the land will sooner or later run out. — Professor Shuttleworth here referred to an illustration, made up asa result of careful experiment and analysis hy the great agricultural auth- ovities, Lawes & Gilbert. This showed the several constituents the following crops re- | move from an acre, andthe difference in the ‘degree of actual exhaustion when the crops aresold, and when they are fed upon the farm.

So that, having regard to the fertility of the soil. it is much better to sell off the farm sheep, cattle, horses, and their products, than it is to sell potatoes, oats, etc. In disposing of these raw products we are selling our labor, but giving the fertility of our farms away

Professor Shuttleworth suggested here the formation of a Farmers’ Institute at Vernon

River, invited discussion and resumed his seat.

Mr. Thomas Richards desired information as to the sources of potash.

Proressor SHUTTLEWORTH.—It was easi- ly obtained in hardwocd ashes, for the hare woods draw from the soil comparatively large quantities of potash ; itis also mined in some places and taken in large quantities direct from the earth.

Mr. Owen Sullivan desired to know the cause of the partial failure of the oat crop ?

Professor Shuttleworth said that it was in his opinion due in per: to partial exhaus- tion of the soil the 1-sult of overcropping, and (last year) in grea! part to the presence of the insect known as the aphis.

Mr Svutiivan asked what was to be done with land that had been spoiled by too much mussel mud ?

Professor Shuttleworth explained that the exhaustion of the soil, as a result of the application of too much mussel mud, is due

to the action of the lime of which the shells are composed. If the fertilizers which have been worked out of the soil by reason of tke solvent action of the lime are restored, the crops will probably be better. The application of a liberal coat of barnyard manure would, probably, restore the fer- tility of the svil, But the action of lime in the soil is constant, and fertilizing ele- ments held in solution as a result of its action are apt to be washed away.

contains a large amount of organic matter and no lime. The shells do the harm. Lime, if at all necessary, should be very carefully and judiciously applied. Asked how much lime he weuld apply to the acre,

apply none ; I think that quite enough.”

Donald McEachern (blacksmith) took strong ground against Professor Shuttle- worth in respect to the use of lime, and stated that Tryon and other settlements which have used lime as a manure for many years past, are among the best farming dis- tricts in the Province.

Mr. Cody asked whether it was better to apply the manure fresh from the stables or to allow it to heat ?

Proressor SHUTTLEWoRTH said that ac- tive fermentation should notin any case be permitted. But slow fermentation will not cause the nitrogen to be lost, and the fertiliz- ing ingredionts of the manure are more readily assimilated by the plants than these of green manure. Green manure miy be applied to the fields without loss, though if applied in winter much of it is apt to be washed into the hollows and brooks, so to be lost tothe crops. Itis better to apply de- composed manures to sandy soils in the spring, and thus keep the surface more com- pact. Clay soil, which is apt to be dense and hard, may, however, with advantage be dressed with long green manure. which wiil help to loosen it up, assist capillary action and admit the air.

Asked concerning the value of gypsum, Professor Shuttleworth said that it was bet- ter than lime, inasmuch as it contains sul- phur required by some plants.

used about the stable and the manure heap.

Asked concerning the best time to plough, Protessor Shuttleworth said that fall plough- ing is much the best,

Findley McPhail approved of Professor Shuttleworth’s suggestion that a Farmers In- stitute be established at Vernon River.

Charles McMillan said that that part of the country was behind in the raising of stock, and advocated the calling of meetings to pro- mote the improvement of s*ock.

Inreply toa question Professor Shuttle-

There was a good deal of spirited discussion, and some of the questions asked were decid- ed'y amusing, as tor instance: ‘‘ Where, Mr. Shuttleworth, can’we get enough hay for the winter ?”
