Sowing Grass Seeds.

Tho Importance Of sowing grass
seed evenly, and sufficiently thick
to occupy every part OF the ground
10 the exclusion OF weeds, cannOt
bc pressed on The minds OF farmers
too forcibly.
In many cases there nrc not
half the rumbet OF plants ofthe
artificial grasses which could pro
fitabIy stand on the allotted space
Of ground. Thospace unoccupied
by good grass is wasted, and il
would be equally reasonable for a
farmer to let his cows remain with
halt the milk in their udders as to
permit his fields, that have been
duly and properly PREPARED for the
reception Of grass seed, TO remain
halt covered with plans; and this
isa spectacle which we annually see
eXhibited in the fields of many
who are styled pretty good farmers.
Nature never works this way; give
her time and don't cOunteract her
efforts, and she fills every space
with some vegetable production. -
An intelligent farmer who is fully
aware OF the Importance of having
his fields evenly set with grass roots,
states that in sowing grass seeds he
drs' passes over the ground, strew
ing about half the quantity proper
TO put on, and then he crosses tho
d9ld sowing the other half, and in
this wayne dispcrses the seed more
evenly, and he is less likely to leave
vacant spaces for occupation Of
weeds. This plan Of sowing takes
double the time 10 perform the
work. but il is done much better,
and amply compcnsates for tho OK.
