 and harrowings fliould be repeated in dry wea-

 but make it four. Before fowing, lay the land as 

 level and fine as pofiible. If your grafs-feeds arc

 buftiels will be fufficient per acre. When fown, 

 harrow it in gently, and roll it with a wooden 

 roller. When it comes up, fill up all the bare 

 fpots by frefli feed, which, if rolled to fix it, will
