stock till the first sown winter tares are ready, 

 when the lucerne left uncut should be mown for 

 hay. The second sown winter tares come next ; 

 then clover, to be succeeded by the third sowing of 

 tares, and by the second growth of lucerne. After 

 this come spring tares and 'the second growth of 

 clover ; and the third cutting of lucerne may follow. 

 If chicory be applied to this use, for which it is 

 well adapted, it will, on any good land, be mown 

 thrice, and on very good soils four times. Thus the 

 whole summer may be provided for, without hav- 

 ing recourse to natural grass ; but, if wanted, that 

 also should be used in the same manner. The 

 quantity and value of the manure thus made will 

 surprize those who have not witnessed it, whether 

 the stock be stalled, or kept in well-littered yards, 

 in divisions, according to sort, size, age, fatness, 

 value, or any other rule of separation : if they are 

 fed carefully, have water at command, and are kept 

 clean, all sorts will thrive to the farmer's satisfac- 

 tion ; arid if hay be an object to him, and he has 

 artificial food sufficient for the whole, he will be 

 enabled to mow all that is mowable. As to horses, 

 it is not requisite to say more than this ; it is at 

 nt the system with every truly enlightened 

 farmer in the kingdom.

As this is the first time that it has been necessary 

 to treat distinctly of this work, it will be proper 

 to bring to our young fanner's attention, a very 

 material question, respecting all the dung he
