tap roots to great depth. The soil
should be dry and rich. The time fol
sowing the seed is in September, and
they should be sowed broadcast. They
soon yegetate, and the plants grow VII
gorously during the fall, and acquire
sufficient strength to Withstand the Sc
verify Of the coolest winters. In the
spring, they start OH to grow in advance
OF all other vegetation, and take entire
possession Of the ground. If the seed
is sowed in the spring, the grass will
overtop and smother the lucerne. un-
less it is drilled, in which case it re-
quires frequent and careful workings.
1t should not be sowed with any other
crop. When sowed in the fall, it will
furnish two cuttings the next season.
The second season it will be fully es-
tablished, and yield as many as four
cuttings, which it will continue to do
for four years. BY the expiration Of
that period, it will begin to die out in
patches, and another sowing should be
made. The plants should not be suf-
fered TO bear seed any further than is
necessary for new sowings.
On the whole, Mr.. Mabry considers
lucerne as invaluable, particularly on
small farms, from the great quantity Of
food it supplies thus enabling the pos
SCISSOR Of only few acres to keep a
number Of cows, which, in their turn,
furnish abundant means Of enriching
the land, besides alfording the owner
the luxury and the profits to be derived
from a good dairy. We would espc-
cialy recommend to our farmers in
the neighborhood of the city to make
the experiment. With milk at six
pence a quart, and butter at so cents
--never less than 37a cents--a pound
the advantages to be derived from q
dairy appear to US to be very decided,
Mr.. Mabry informs US that the Al
folfa clover, about which we made some
inquiry few weeks ago. is nothing else
than lucerne.
