The race-course was on tract bounded

Orchard Grass.

10 an inquirer:
/. Orcbard-grass is usually sown early in
the spring. with grain or clover; two
bushels to the acre Is the quantity of seed
ordinarily used, but two and half TO
three bushels may be used.
.. 1t is better than timothy to be sown
with red clover as it ripens at the same
time. and the two can be cut when both
are in the best condition. Two bushels of
orchard-grass and twelve pounds of clover
seed are good proportions. Many farmers,
however. prefer sowing the orchard-grass
by itself.
8. Orchard-grass may be sown with grain
in the fall. but il is usually considered
safer to SOW it by itself.
