' ; - r l; -rM ' . T? arraer .'s Heposilory . Characteristics of flemish Htts- j ! bandry. To make a farm resemble a garden as hcariu as possible, wast tbeir principal idea of husbandry. Such an excellent principle, at first setting , out, led thtrin, ot course, to undertake the culture of all estates only, which they kept free frontx-Weeds, continually , turning the grpund,and manuring it plenlifullv. and judii lousiyv ! Having thus brought toe soil to a just deVree of cleanliness,.riealtb and sweetness, they , ventured chieny up on the culture of the more, delicate gras ses as the surest means ttf acquiring wealth in husbandry, uporka small scaled without the ! expense of keeping many draught horses or servants. After a few years experience, thejr soon found tliat ten acres of the best vofetJtables for teed- ing cattle, properly cultivated, woul maintain a larger Stock; pi grazing animals,-than fortyi; acres of common farm gras-s: and the vegetables they chiefly cultivated for this purpose were, jncernei saintfoin, trefoils' ofv most denominations', sweety fenu-greek, ( TrigoneUa) buck & cow wheat, ( ' Mel&mfiyrum firatrnse,) field turnipS and spuriy , ( Sfiergula,) by them called marian-grass. i The fiolitical secret bf Flemish A3 bandry tvas, the letting farms on "im provement. I Add to this, they discover ed eight or tert new sorts of manures.; They were the first among the modems wno piougnea in living crops, tor ;tocj sake of fertilising the earth, and confioccH their sheep at night in large sheds built on purpose, whose floor was covered with sand, or earth, &c. which the shepherd carted away every morning" to the com post dung hill. Such was the chief mys tery f the Flemish husbandry. ! . Vnne, cisterns are formed to the fields, o receive purchased liquid manure ; but for that made in the farm yard, generally in the vard. or under the stables. In the latter case, the urine is conducted from Ccn 5ia to a cqromoa grxiu inrongii which tt descends mtb the vault; from hence it h taken up hy a pumplj lu the best reculatcd farmeries, there is. a par- tition in the cistern, with a valve -to ad mit the contents ot tne nrsi space into the second, to be preserved there free, ftom the more refceht acouisition. ate addibcL considerably to its efficacy. This species of manure is relied on beyond a- ny other, upon all the light sous through; ought p lancers, apd even upon the strong lands, (originally so rich as to preclude the necessity of tonure,) is now! coming into great esteem, being considered ap plicable'to most crops; and to all the ya- rietiesof sml. : ' : " Fallows, according Ho Sir John Sin clair, are in a great measure abolished, even on strong land ; by means of .which. produce is increased, and the expense ol cultivation on the crops raised in the course of 3 rotation, necessarily diminish ed : i and by the treat profit they derive from tneir nax ana rape, or; cojsai, tney can atTuid to sell all their crops of grain t a lovier, rate. Notwithstanding thU a&aertiou.of Sir jfobn, it-will be found that a fallow enters into the Totattun 0a all the clayey soils of Flanders. 1 : j ; :-s Flax is cultivated with (the! utmost care, l rw nem mtenaca lor mis crop, after two or three ploiighings and har- rowlngs, is again ploughed, commencing in the centre and ploughed round and xouiid to the circumference, so as to leave it without any furrow. The.heavy roller is drawn across jthc ploughing J bp- three horses ; the liquid, manure then spread equally over the! entire surface, and when well- navrowea in, oy eignt or nine aircn-s of the harrow, the seed is sown, which is also harrowed in by a light j harrow with woodempins, of less than three idch- . . ' i . - cs ; anu tne sunace, to conciuae tne op eration, is again carefully rolled.; . Nothing can exceed the smoothness and cultivated appearance of fields thus accurately prepared. The manure universalis Used for the flax crop, demands particular notice. It is ternud lipuid manure, and consists oi the urine of cattle in 'hich rape cake as been dissolved, and in which the vi- danges conveyed from the privies of the adjoining towfis and AUIagei,'have also been blended. This manure is gradual ly collected in subterraneous vaults cf brick work, at the verge of the farm net to the main road. Those receptacles are generally forty wide,, and seven in some cases feet long byy fourteen or eight feet deep ; anil are "contrived with the crown of .the arch so much below the surface of the ground, as to admit the plough to work over it. An aperture is left in the side, through which the ma nure is received; from (he cart by mpahs of a shoot or trough, and at one. end an opening is left to bring it up. again, by means of a temporary, pump which de livers it either into carts or tonneans. . The liquid is carried M the field ift sheets or barrels, actbrding tdj the dis tance. Where the cart plies, the ma nure is carried n a great sheet called a voile, closed at the Corners by- jrunning strings, and secured to the four uprights of the carts ; two men standing one on each side ol thecaftrscatter;.it with hol low shovels bpon the rolled: ground : or where the tonneaus are tmade use" of, each is carried by two men with poles, and set down at equal intervals across the field, In the line of tho rolling. There are two sets of vessels, which enable the men who deposit the, loaded ohes. to brine back the others empty. One man to each vessel with a scoop, or rather a kind of bowl with a long han die spreads the j manure so as to cover a and thus by preserving certain space ; the intervals coi rcctlyi they can precise ly gauge the quantity for a gifenextent of surface For the flax crop they are profuse, and oi this, Hclicl mixture, in this part of the icountrytliey utua4!v al low at the rate of 2480 gallons, beer rneasure to thct English acre. - With culinary 'vegetable the Flemish markets are abundantly mphlied.
