;;; I have gone into the analogy between nnN
inils and vegeta'jlfs thus far, to impress upon
the miiids of our farmers ihe imnortance ot
portunee
sivirig and of applying the fiod of their vcg.
ctables with the same; care and economy that
they do ihefmid of ilu-ir animals. How scru:
pulously careful is the good husbandman ot
the producer of his farm destined lo nourish
and 'atten. his animals ;and , yet how often
careless of thc'fod which? can alone nourish
and mi lure his. plants 1 : while his fields are
gleaned "and his gram Jh,y, and roots careful."
lyhouscd, and economically dispensed io his
n ui ma Is, t lie food of his: vegetables is suffered
to, waste on every pal of 'his -?farm. ; Stereo
raries we have none. The urine of tho slock,
which conslilulcs'a moiety of the manur'e of
nriunals', is all lost. . Tlie slovenly, and wast,e.
ful pjaclice of deeding at stacks. 'in-, the fields
where the sole of the grass ;is broken; tlio

Again: none but a. slothful farmer will per
mit ihe flocksjof his neighbors to, rob hj3 own
of tlK'ir food ; .yet ho oftco "sees, but with fee
