Where persons have extensive

be sowed in drills about two feet

year. After that, little cultivation
will do. 1t certainly is better to
keep it always free from weeds and
other crosses; but the lucerne
grows so rapidly that very few
grasses can injune it..
Perhaps white clover will do
more harm than anything else, as
tthat mikes in with the roots of the
lucerne, and can not be stifled and
is not easily extirpated.
After the first year, one spading

feet long; and if the summer is not

let one crop grow up, and remain

strength, and next season act vigor-
