on one acre. If this is all fown at the time of fowing the wheat, 

 it may be killed with the winter; if it is not, fo much grafs com- 

 monly injures the crop of wheat; if it is all fown the lafl of 

 February or the firft of March, and a dry fcafon fhould follow, 

 while the roots are young and tender, then the crop of grafs will 

 be loft. I have found it the fafefh way, to fow one half the 

 clover feed propofed for an acre, at the time you fov/ the wheat, 

 and the other half on the fame land in the laft of the winter or 

 the firft of the fpring. 



Some farmers a litde before they cart out their dung from 

 their cow-yards to dung wheat, fcatter the heads of clover all 

 over the yard, fufficient to feed the land they propofe to dung ; 

 the clover heads being trodden into the dung by the cattle, and 

 otherwife mixed by carting out, fpreading and ploughing in the 

 dung, the feed comes up exceeding well, and being deeply 

 rooted is not fubjeft to injury by drought or frofts. The only 

 objeftion to this mode is, that the quantity of grafs is apt to hurt 

 tlie crop of wheat.
