Even very many Of our most progressive lar

paying expenditure, when they have stocked
down a field along with a crop OF oats or
wheat, that will oVershaiow and dwarf the
grass for the first season; when It should be
getting good stools, TO enter upon its perennial
possession. Il is one of our doctrines that
grass should be put in as a full crop by itself,
Just as wheat or other grain is, and this We
have before insisted on in former numbers Of
The Ohio Cultivator.
Some days ago we accepted az invitation
from Lucian Buttles, President Of the Frank

farms on Al lUm creek, and while on this drive
he detailed his own experience il putting down
timothy meadows, and its influence upon his
neighbors. Mr.. B. had prepared a field OF
rich soil, by deep plowing and thorough har-
rowing, for stocking down to timothy grass

Sowing Grass as a Fall Crop.

EDiToRs ONO CULTIvATJR IL have always
held the doctrine that grass should be sown
as crop by itself, but never had tried it. In
the last No. of the Culdvatol, Farmer
Whites Timothy Meadow seemed to be just
the thing that wanted, all but the time, OF
the proper time to put in the seed. Now j
you will give us this item, | will promise to re-
port progress. My object in taking this inq ui'
ry is, whether il will do to SOW in the fall, as
we generally have more time then to do than
in the spring, +. J.

our mind, though we should add dressing of

dy rich, or the preceding stubble crop had been

Frs. O. CULTIvAToR lin reply to your re-
quest Of farmers who have had experience in
sowing grass seed as full crop, would say,
it is the custom of farmers in this section TO
SOW their grass seed on their fields OF winter
grain. For several years | have adopted the
system OF sowing grass SEED as lull CROP on
such land as intended for meadow the COM
ing season, generally sow grass in rotation
with other crops, and am fully repaid for my
labor. will state my mode OF preparation
and sowing, in short. Ifany other good prac-
teal or scientific farmer has better, l should
be pleased to hear from them.
First, break up wheat or oat stubble, thor
oughly pulverized by the assistance OF roller,
and narrowing twice or thrice, if required to
make the ground in good order for receiving
the seed. then commence narrowing on one
side, at the same time sowing the seed after
the harrow as guide, turning the team short at
each end. instead of narrowing around the
land in the usual way; then harrow the seed
in, and roll the land. Timothy should be sown
as early as the last week in August, or not la
ter than the 10Th of September, to ensure a
good crop. Ii. L. WOODLAND.
