Synopsis

Excerpt from The Penny Cyclopaedia of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, Vol. 14: Limonia-Massachusetts

Among the different manures which are used for the arable land in Lincolnshire, we must not pass over that of fish. Especially that small fish which abounds in shallow waters, and is named the stickleback. It is very soon putrid. And greatly assists the natural juices of the earth in producing vegetation.

On the richest fen lands the most profitable rotation consists of the following now -1. Cole, fed off with sheep; 2.0ats; 3, beans; 4. Wheat; 5, clover; 6, wheat. If wheat were sown immediately after the cole, it would be rank, and probably lodged. The oats and beans reduce it to a proper state, by exhausting a portion of the manure and pre ring the soil better for wheat. The oats are always ne and abundant, seldom less than 8 quarters per acre, and often 10 and even 12 quarters.
