1891. — Previous to the year 1891 other crops than 

 grasses have l)een cultivated upon some plats at times. Of 

 late none hut single grasses or mixtures of reputed grasses 

 have been planted. The single grasses are raised as in pre- 

 vious years, in rf)ws two feet apart ; grass mixtures are 

 seeded down broadcast. The manure in case of single 

 grasses is applied by hand 1)etween the rows, and is subse- 

 quently slightly i)loughed in by means of a cultivator ; in 

 case of grass mixtures the manure is applied as top dress- 

 ing early in the spring. In l)oth cases the first manure is 

 applied broadcast and i)loughed under before seeding down 

 the grass.
