early Fall Plowing Area 8 acres. 



The grain crop is .sown after roots. Afer the roots are harvested the land is ploughed 

 5J inches deep, and then left till the next spring, when it is harrowed and seeded to oats. 

 With the grain is sown 10 pounds Red clover, 1 pound Alsike clover and 10 pounds 

 Timothy seed per acre. 



The clover hay is cut twice in the season, and the second aftermath left on the 

 field, i.e., it is not pastured off. 



The mixed clover and timothy hay is cut twice if possible and plowed 7 inches 

 deep early in October. Manure is applied and the land rcplowed in the spring with a 

 sliallower furrow. 



The roots are sown on ridges drilled up after the spring ploughing, and receive 

 the usual cultivation.
