Mnrpring Grass Land, in Autumn.

EDS. RuE,t In one Of your late mum.
bsrs, noticed an inquiry Of a young far
msr in regard to mAnurins grass lands in
autumn. In Oc,obcr, 81, hauled manure
on an old meadow that had run out and
had little on but June grass. \ part Of the
manure was spread, aud the balance was
len till the January shaw. Whorc the
manure wa, spread IN the fall, the grass
sprung up and continued green till the snow
fell. Ia the spring there was a marked dif.
ference between that aud the rest Of the
meadow and when the grass was cot, that
part yielded double the amount Of hay
Of any Of the rest Of the meadow, and
in the fall IL came up thick with clover. aud
yielded good crop Of seed. Where the
manure was spread in the winter and spring,
il produced very h,tlc benefit. Since that
time we have manurcl grass lands in the
fall, winter and spring, and have uniformly
found about the same result. Where ma
uure is spread upon grass lands previous TO
the fall rains, the beneficial elect is soon
visible, bat after that | have never seen
much advantage from top dressing.
My plan is to spread ON the manure IN
the fall, and as soon as the irOst Is out Of
the ground TO harrow and roll for meadow ;
bat IL the land is wanted for corn, plow
deep With a jointcr plow in the fall for clay
soil, and mellow the top in the spriDg with
a eultiyatOr. But it the soil be sand or
loan, plow late, as it will answer in the
spring, and give time Tor planting in season ;
but be sure you plow with double or io'nt
plow. aud no, less than ten inches deep, and
YOU will be likely to set "a good crop Of corn.
