fill it up afterwards with the barley, that procefs will eftablilh 

 the jufl proportion. 



If you intend to fow lucerne by itfelf, fill up the meafure 

 with fand or alhes over the above-mentioned quantity of feed, 

 that method makes the fowing eafier and more regular. 



When your barley is ripe, you may mow it as clofe as 

 poflible to the ground without any danger of hurting the 

 young plants of your lucerne, of which you cannot expedl 

 but a very indifferent crop that firft; year. Don't let cattle 

 feed upon it at that time. 



The fecond year will give you two crops. In the beginning 

 of the third year, as foon as the winter is over, you mufl 

 harrow your lucerne about two inches deep when the ground 

 is yet moift, in two or three different directions, in order to 

 root out the weeds : Never mind nor be uneafy if your 

 lucerne is torn to pieces by that hard dreffmg ; the more it is 

 torn the better it will grow : this is a lad of long experience, 

 upon which you may rely. 



MANURE. 



AFTER the above dreffmg, you may manure your lucerne 

 with greater advantage, by fpreading over fome new ground 

 or mud taken from creeks and fwamps, or employ fome 

 pulverized gypfum.
