Cultivation of Barrier.

/ The barley crop occupies q place in the
regular course Of cultivation in England,
which it has never attained in this country
In comparatively fsx localities here il has
been (; an for many years, but some have
abandoned II for various reasons, and Over
large districts there are farmers who have
never tried Il, or perhaps even Seen il grow
/ ing. This my be, in part owing TO The fact
that for lis best growth il requires a sol
specially adapted to it, but in paIl, Ne Judge,
because il has not been the custom" of the
neighborhood. Some think that The short
hot summers of this country are unfayorable
for this grain, but this objection would ap-
ply equally 10 oats and grass. l. is, Ike
wheat, liable to attack from the midge, which
has also 10 some extent prevented lis con
tinura cultivation. The Transactions Of the
y. Y. State Agricultural Society for 1861,
give a report of crop raised by Daniel
Dryer, Ontario Co, \. Y. which shows that
under favorable circumstances il NAV be pro-
tiiable. / 18th acres of corn siubble were
enriched with 20 loads Of stable manure
spread on the clayeyest part of the field
/ The whole was plowed eight inches deep and
sowed the last week in April with ten BUSH
els OF Of 6-rowed commonly called i-roweal
barley. TIE land was narrowed both ways
and then rolled. About SEQ lbs. Of plaster
were sowed before all was up. The crop
vas harvested the frs, week in August, and
Welded l9S bushels. which was sold Al 50
cents per bushels. Al tn. low figure the

field was sandy loan, portion Of il clayey.
Barley succeeds best on light sandy CT

WHO Consider oats too exha1siing for lands
OF this description, might find good suosii

hardest, though The Proved Is generally
preferred in this country, because Of It's su-
perior tailness and freedom from smut. A
variety recent ' introduced called Nepaul Bar

Agrieulturist, Vi. M, page 26l, is highly
recommended by those who have tried it. l.

acre is the usual quantity of seed, according
10 the character of the soil, the most beng

vented by soaking the seed in solution Of

After soaking, dry of the seed with slaked
