I verily believe that a yield Of 34. acres, sowed on wheat April was twelvemonth, has given me a ton to the acre at it's first cutting this spring. My exhausted fields bring a clover not high enough for hay, but I hope to make seed from it. But the true winter vetch is what we want extremely. I have tried this year the Caroline drill. It is absolutely perfect.
Nothing can be more simple, nor perform it's office more perfectly for a single row.
I shall try to make one to sow four rows at a time of wheat or peas, at 12. I have one of the Scotch threshing machines nearly finished. It is copied exactly from a model mr. It will be ready in time for the harvest which is coming on, which will give it a full trial. Our wheat and rye are generally fine, and the prices talked of bid fair to indemnify us for the poor crops of the two last years.
