Grasses at the South.

Many readers of the Country Gentleman
seem to entertain doubts about the sue
cessful cultivation of the grasses in what
is termed the Southern States. Having
purchased farm two years ago, below the
attitude of Washington, situated on tide.
water of the peninsular lying between the
Chesapeake and Delaware bays, and having
within that time commenced the culti-
walton of northern staples, among which
grasses take first rank, i have become deeply
interested in solving that very problem
The first impression of doubt arises from
not seeing either barns or meadows, as is
the custom at the north, and the idea be-
comes uppermost that grass will not grow
I am fully pursuaded that this opinion is
the greatest fallscy which can be enter
tanned. Why, not dozen miles from
where / am, is a farm for sale, of which
the owner said it contained a natural
meadow of 200 acres giving pasture for
100 head of cattle during the early summer.
Now the system is rapidly undergoing a
change. Northern farmers have sowed
clover and timothy, and southern farmers
have looked on and found it will grow, and
that cattle aud horses will eat hay and
tnIlfep huu indt tue laUOf rcqulteu ID less
than saving corn-fodder for large stock.
Hence it is that we now see on almost
every well kept farm, field of clover
and / can truly remark that in no section
of the north have / ever seen it flourish so
well as in the warm sandy loans, not more
than twenty feet above tide-water Of this
State
Even the drouths of the past two years,
the most severe known for a long time past,
affected clover much less severely here
than in Connecticut. In the latter State
new seeding was destroyed by the drouth
on lands of a heavier soil than the same
here where it looks green and well set to-
day. My advice to all who contemplate
southern farming, is to discard that bug
bear at once and SOW seeds of grasses in
faith.
