■Garden Trenching.— Open a trench 2£ feet wide, one full spit and the shovellings deep, and wheel this soil to where it is intended to finish the piece, then dig the bottom spit in the .trench in which the dung and surface of the next trench must be shovelled, then filling up tliis trenoh with the top spit, &0., of the second (laying, the surface in a" ridge for exposure to frbst -arid air) and digging its bottom as before, and s6 onunfcil the gtouud io completed. The advantages are-—the rain passes off-quicker, the. land is pulverised, roots penetrate deeper,..weeds being paired into each trench are buried effec-tually-and nourish the soil; the top apifc i« al» wayt kept upwards.— Foxton.
