You have now collected your wood and fencing stuft 

 for the next season; your hemp and fla# are in great 

 forwardness, and your threshing was all closed early

 Cut up your wood, and house it, or pile it up for the 

 summer, and next winter ; the difference in the sav-

 nearly pay the expense of sleding, besides the extra 

 trouble of kindling fires ; both which are objects 

 worthy attention. 



If you have neglected to sow clover, at seed-time, 

 upon your winter grains, you may now sow to advan- 

 tage, as soon as the ground is bare, (the sooner the 

 better,) or upon a light snow both will answer well. 

 You may harrow down your corn-hills, or light po- 

 tatoe grounds, as soon as the surface is free from frost, 

 and sow your spring rye, it will generally do better, 

 than after a ploughing as late as the first of May. 



Dress with stable, compost, hog-pen, or such other 

 well rotted manure as you have, such grass grounds as 

 you have neglected in autumn ; three loads now may 

 be equal to two then ; but it is best to secure a good 

 crop even now. Your winter-grain should now be 

 dressed with plaster, if it was neglected at seed-time ; 

 your mowing grounds, which are upon a dry soil,
