From he Plan,er.


hiy Dear Sir ~ take great pleasure iu
answering your enquiries, in relation TO
the culture Of Msskee, Grass.
The seeds of this grass, like all other
perennial grasses of which l have any
knowledge. should be sown as early in the
autumn as practicable. The ground should
be thoroughly pulvesized. by at least two
ploughings. the one across the other. fol-
lowed by harrow in the same manner.
Stubble lands, and those that have been
lying fallow, ough, 6rst to he hoed, before
they arc touched by the plouGb, 10 insure
perfect preparation. On lands thus pre-
pared, the seed should be sowed broad
casi. q, the rate Of twelve or sixteen quarts
10 the acre. Rudding the seed in lime,
ashes or rich mould, li,l!e damp, facili-
tatcs an equal distribution Of them over
the surface matter Of much importance.
A calm day should be selected for sowing
the secd-a light fue-tooth harrow, The
covering them, and heavy ,wo-horsc
collar, passed over the ground, completes
tho operation.
II sown early in September, il may be
safely grazed BY the middle Of January
but if intended for bay or seed, tho grazing
should DO discontinued after the FIRST ol
March. A lot Of nine acres of rich river
low-grounds, planted The frs, week IN
September. afforded cxcellcnr pas,urase
by the Is, of January following, when one
hundred aud 6fty ewes and lambs were
put on il. These all kept in fine condi-
ton without oiher food, un,i! the Is,

Ihave never cnt II for hay, and cannot.
therefore, speak of its illness for tha, pur-
pose, by that best Of all possible tests, ex.
