OATS.

As il will be time to seed oats in parts of
the country where our paper circulaIes, by
the time it may reach its destination, we
will seize this occasion to say, that a good
crop Of oats, without assistance, By manure,
cannot be grown in poor land. And as such
is The case, we will state certain proportions
and kinds Of manure, which, if applied per
acre, will ensure good crops, the season
and climate being congenial.

Any lands that may be thus msnured, ana
pu, in oats will bear being seeded to clover,
or clover and orchard grass, with The posi-

risn, growth of clover and grass, and OF be-
ing sufficiently improved TO 60 through a
profitable rotation of crops.

seed, each should be sowed separa'ely-the
